Snippet of full article computernewsdaily.com Bray: The 56K Modem Is Already Obsolete By HIAWATHA BRAY c.1998 The Boston Globe That's because 1998 is shaping up as the Year of ADSL, or asymmetric digital subscriber line, a technology that's been lurking in the labs for a decade or so. ADSL modems can download millions of data bits per second over a standard phone line. And there's no need for a second line in the home, because you can download and chat at the same time. Too bad ADSL has been too expensive and complicated for home use. But James Bender says that's about to change. Bender is chief executive of Aware Inc., a small company in Bedford, Mass. that's one of the leaders in ADSL research. His firm is working on a type of ADSL modem nicknamed G.Lite that will sell for about $300 and will let you receive data from the 'Net at up to 1.5 million bits per second.
