Milkman/All, The following "should" not be a problem in interoperability as both follow the ANSI DMT standard for ADSL on the telco side and the 802.3 Ethernet standard on the non-telco side of the modem: Central Office___________________________ Customer site ==Ethernet Alcatel (ANSI)ATU-C------------ATU-R(ANSI)Amati Ethernet== However, when a vendor implements a protocol like PPP over ATM on the non Telco side of one modem and the other modem has ethernet on the non Telco side there will be problems. I would like to see Amati modems fully interoperate with Alcatel modems. When you think of it, it would be advantageous to the Telco carrier as well. Lets say that a telco that has Alcatel exclusively needs to deploy a number of modems before a certain time period and Alcatel has problems delivering that quantity before the deadline. The telco can then purchase the remaining modems from Amati with no interoperability concerns. As far as ANSI ADSL and ATM on the same chip, I hope to see the standards committee and the ADSL Forum to have some say and get involved to promote interoperability. This way TI, MOT, ALA, ADI, etc can all be compatable. Just my opinions. Other opinions welcome. Regards, Andy
