[Chat - steve green] Thanks for posting this since I didn't read it before my last post & it confirms what I was thinking. So just a few thoughts since I can't get into this maybe SteveG? <Rockwell Semiconductor Systems has proposed a consumer DSL, or CDSL, while Globespan Semiconductor Inc. has promoted a consumer-installable DSL, or CiDSL, that could be implemented immediately in CAP-based ADSL systems by external filter components.> For anyone who cares to research this I think filters will be an important part in all of this. <Its best role, he said, would be to standardize interfaces at higher layers in the protocol stack, particularly programming interfaces at the network layer and above. Rodey said that the ADSL Forum tries to avoid direct involvement in physical-layer issues, and has kept neutral on carrierless amplitude/ phase (CAP) modulation vs. DMT. As splitterless concepts emerge, he said, they should follow the T.114 standards, which in essence specify DMT. Rodey said Lucent's proposals apparently meet that requirement, while Rockwell's would need modification. Ken Brizel, strategic marketing manager for DSL products at Lucent's microelectronics group, confirmed that WildWire is based on a DMT line code. "It is important that we made this completely DSP-based and programmable, which allows us to explore other line-code options should they prove important," he said.> I think billc has mentioned interfaces @ a higher layer for the last 3 mo.s. <Opinions on the implications of a consumer DSL effort varied widely last week. Kent Savage, vice president of sales and marketing at NetSpeed Inc. (Austin, Texas), said there is "no question" that a push for splitterless ADSL could dissolve the market for first-generation ADSL, as well as mid-speed and symmetric alternatives. "Most of the mass-deployment decisions will be made within the next 30 days to nine months," he said, "and this coalition could shift the momentum."> Don't have time for this one either but I like the last line. <G> <Efficient Networks Inc. (Dallas) just came out with CAP-based subscriber modems to augment its original DMT-based ADSL systems. Product marketing manager Peter Bourne said Efficient has begun work on splitterless ADSL, but anticipates it will be some time before any such products are ready for consumer markets.> Dosen't this seem strange to anyone beside me? DMT then Cap! Its gonna get good. Regards, Dug
