Some "CDSL" followup: I wasn't able to confirm my previous report of any ROK T1E1.4 silicon yet to come, so let's presume not until otherwise confirmed. In the meantime, the following may flesh out some more details of this CDSL product: ================== (excerpt) How does CDSL technology compare with Discrete Multi-Tone (DMT) or Carrierless Amplitude and Phase (CAP) ADSL technology? CDSL technology is similar to but operates at a lower rate than DMT or CAP ADSL technology. With its 1Mbps downstream data rate, CDSL is much more cost-effective to implement than DMT or CAP ADSL modems, and its speed is ideal for Web browsing and remote computing. Also, CDSL technology eliminates the need for "splitters" that the phone company previously had to install at the subscriber's home to separate the phone service frequencies from traditional ADSL frequencies. Instead, special techniques allow CDSL to resolve the noise interference problems that existed between traditional ADSL technology and POTS service so that the two can co-exist on the same line. This allows a dual-operation capability -- CDSL can maintain a continuous link to the phone company just like a LAN connection, and the user can make a phone call simultaneous with an Internet connection on the same standard phone line. ================== (it offers 128Kbps upstream, with pretty good chances of making these rates) from: nb.rockwell.com also see biz.yahoo.com for the full press release. No wonder Rockwell's not budging on the 56K lawsuit and standards issues. And how far behind can COMS be? Steve

Hi Steve G: Good post on Rockwell's "in the design stages" 1 mbps modem. Somehow I get the feeling that there is a certain "me too" uncertainty to this product, however, and that it's a little like they're trying to play last second catch up. It will be interesting to see how it develops. Certainly they're starting from square zero with respect to trials and relationships. Incidentally, a long time back you had posted an interesting missive on the Repo man (you may or not remember - but it doesn't matter). When I stated that I found it hard to understand, someone said that I needed to see the movie and all would be revealed. What that person didn't know was that I had seen the movie prior to my post. No need to comment on that point, but suffice it to say, any and all comments - both positive and negative (even if wrong either way) are encouraged on this thread. I think you may find that suitable to your style of posting. Good Luck To Each And All Curly ~~~~~~~^^ [6.6] .....> [_]

[errata] <So now we have MOT, ALA/Mietec, MOT, TXN and Rockwell as DMT chipmakers...PAIR won't be far behind with THEIR DMT chipset> As now reported, this CDSL is neither DMT nor CAP and is apparently not interoperable with either. And of course, one of those MOT's should have been ADI. Steve
