I think they are using the term in a generic sense.

Well you are trying to out do me in the boo boo dept. today. Here is a clip from AWRE: ____________________________________CLIP____________________ "We believe that the characteristics of the residential market require a different technology solution than that for the small business market. Two principal approaches to Voice over DSL have been developed thus far. (1) Packetized voice, also known as Voice over ATM (VoATM) or Voice over IP (VoIP). Equipment being sold by CopperCom, Jetstream, and Tollbridge uses this approach. (2) Physical layer voice, also known as digitized voice. We call our physical layer approach Voice enabled DSL or VeDSL. The principal technical difference between a packet approach versus a physical layer approach relates to the use of communications protocols. In an effort to keep the technical discussion short and simple so that we can focus on the significance of our approach to the residential market, we offer this oversimplified description. There are 7 layers of communications protocols in the communications protocol "stack", each of which performs an important function. The packetized versus physical layer approaches use different protocol layers to transport second line calls. (1) Packetized voice uses layer 2/3 (the data link and network layers) to transport calls. Calls are placed into ATM or IP packets for transport over the ADSL physical layer bit stream. (2) Physical layer voice uses layer 1 (the physical layer). Calls travel within the ADSL physical layer bit stream itself. We believe that packetized voice in the backbone portion of the telephone network (that part of the network that connects central offices to one another) makes a lot of sense. However, in the local access portion of the network (that part of the network that connects central offices to customers’ homes) packetized voice may have issues when used to provision residential second line voice. The benefits of using a physical layer approach, such as our VeDSL technology, for residential voice services are:" ____________________________________CLIP____________________ The full release is here: aware.com
