From the nwfusion article:

An imperfect DSL world
Real-world ISP tests show even the littlest thing can disrupt DSL transmissions; AM radio is an unexpected culprit.


...But DMT seems to be maturing rapidly. Lacey said a prototype DMT-based modem from Pairgain Technologies, Inc. worked as well as the best performing CAP modem, Westell Technologies, Inc.'s FlexCap2...

The best DMT prototype performs as well as the Westell FlexCap2 modem. The details should be interesting.... until later.

PS. Piper.. I'm all ears.

>>>I don't see the value in writing the inside scoop when nobody cares or believes in it.

Piper: Thanks for sharing. Speaking for myself, I'm intrigued by your information and would like to apologize for the tone of my previous message to you.

>>>About AWare and CSCO

I'm puzzled by Aware's recent strength and can't believe it has anything to do with Cisco, at least as far as splitterless dsl.lite is concerned. The recent press statements by Nortel mention Cisco will endorse Nortel's DSL-Lite technology, including Nortel's multi-megabit modem specification. Netspeed had been planing on using CG for its DMT modems, I wonder if Cisco is thinking of incorporating DWMT into the Netspeed DMT modems?

Just thinking out loud. I realize the information you have was probably told to you in confidence, thanks again for sharing. Dave
