Morning Rudy Rudedog,..*Off Topic* I did a little research and found that Bellsouth will be offering ADSL this year. Also, posted a link earlier from networkcomputing about xDSL which states that business critical comm might go the SDSL application. That also sounded more interesting to me. networkcomputing.com A Little DSL Symmetry Here are some interesting links including one which shows the manufacturers of the equipment, (maybe buy targets?). Also, this mornings news is about another acquisition by Alcatel of DSC Comm. This must be a hot subject, 3rd one in 3 days. bellsouth.net telechoice.com tech news telechoice.com equipment vendors Regards, Lee

Thanks Rudedog. So I take it you like the service so far? Have you ever tried cable yourself or played with net access on a cable modem? I hear they are even faster, but speed goes down since it is a shared medium, so as more users on a node logon, performance suffers. My guess is that it may not suffer enough to be able to tell, as the ultimate chokepoint in many cases will be other parts of the network. It's interesting, with all this stuff on xDSL being talked about, I see that my local phone company (Bell Atlantic) has just announced ADSL plans, Philly and Washington this fall, New York next year, so there is hope!!
