Emichael, thanks for the article. They were just discussing this on CNBC and it sounded great. With my luck I have Bell Atlantic telephone service and Bell Atlantic as an ISP. I guess I know why they are shying away from this technology. Would infringe on their ISP business. I am sure they will change their mind. I would hate to have to move just to get this service. gg.

Emichael: Thank you for the post with details on MSFT, INTL and CPQ. That is wonderful to know that we can use phone lines to get internet data without the cost of ISPs. And that too very much faster than we can now. I also note that today's traditional modems are not that great when it comes to data-heavy graphics. Access to internet and routine telephone line function without mutual exclusion are something, I never thought could happen. What is your evaluation when it comes to a competition between cable modems and the telephone companies? Would they share the market or will the ubiquitous telephone companies backed by the big-three( MSFT-INTC-CPQ))win it all or most of it? It appears that MSFT is playing on both side of the fence. DSL info is new for me. Thanks again for your post. Paul
