No, I don't know that much about it. I still use a modem at home :(
I am waiting for xDSL. I live pretty far out in the country so I am not sure if I will get faster access anytime soon. I know a little about ADSL and I guess you have to be close to the station, but I think they are fixing this problem. I suppose a dish would work for me. Maybe I should be asking you questions<G>. Is it a 2 way system, and where can I read some about it?

It is WONDERFUL for these rural areas, only see about 80K throughput however, still that is much better than the alternative.
