<< As you know the TI/AMTM solution is software based. If an RBOC wants to
support G.Lite they download one algorithm that supports 64 tones. If the customer
wants higher bandwidths the RBOC installs a POTS-splitter and downloads an
algorithm that supports 256 tones. I remember AMTX was working on reduced
power implementations in their DSLAM device which supported 1.5Mbps with
extended ranges. >>

It seems entirely possible that a WSTL DSLAM could be at a CO somewhere and half the modems are *64 and the other half are set to *256, with most residential fellas using a Lite solution bc of its ease of use, and because its cheaper and perhaps most businesses going for the heavy stuff with the splitter bc business's can afford the better solution even at a little higher costs (still sure as heck beats a T1). Does a scenario like this sound likely? Would it be really easy to do, switching different individual modems on the same DSLAM to different 'weights'?

This is a tough biz to predict, certainly. I keep worrying a little about how ASND and COMS/USRX currently DOMINATE modem racks now. They have got to be a little worried about the next few years, thus they are probably hedging behind the walls as i type.

all imho
pigboy,
