What does this mean? Is this forum trying an end run around the regular standards committee (what is it ANSI) and create a new standard and leave AMTI standard out in the cold? No, not in the least. Far from it. The Forum has been supporting the ANSI standards process from Day One. ANSI is the organization that determines which technology is the official "standard" for any given segment. If the world didn't have standards, everyone's radios, TVs, VCRs, and so on wouldn't operate with each other. Some times a standard is chosen by the people --- called defacto --- meaning in practice. In other words, a company or group of companies puts their products on the market and by sheer weight of acceptance it becomes the standard. Fortunately, ANSI chose Amati's ADSL/DMT and enough heavy-weights supported it that it would have been nearly impossible for an alternate to become the defacto standard. CAP tried and I believe is dying a quiet death. The ADSL Forum is line-code agnostic and would have supported any standard chosen by ANSI. Actually, they're line-code agnostic between DMT and CAP. They just want to promote the technology. Later -- Pat
