San Jose, Calif. - Digital subscriber line (DSL) modems are not as fast or as stable as equipment makers would have you believe, according to one of the first real-world studies of the high-speed devices.

Avalon also wanted to know whether modems would drop connections over periods ranging from 24 to 72 hours, so the company measured how long it took to re-establish dropped connections. That period ranged from 12 seconds for Pairgain modems to 35 seconds for modems from Amati Communications Corp., now part of Texas Instruments, Inc.

For example, in Avalon's tests, Amati modems failed to establish connections on lines that posed no problem for other vendors' modems.
Also, Aware, Inc.'s X200 modem frequently negotiated connection speeds that were too high to maintain, and as a result the connections
frequently dropped, Lacey said.
