In the latest issue of Info World, Bob Metcalfe (of ethernet & 3COM fame) says that Bell Atlantic has been experiencing problems with "crosstalk" on ADSL lines and now says ADSL cannot be installed beyond 15,000 ft. Could this be a factor in the apparent rollout delay? Metcalfe is hot on multiple virtual line (MVL) technology developed by Paradyne.

Interoperability breeds creativity Vendor alliances pay off in new ADSL, optical networking gear. americasnetwork.com In addition to 3Com, Lucent also is working with Westell to integrate Westell's SuperVision ADSL DSLAM capability into its widely deployed SLC 5 and SLC 2000 DLCs. The first generation of line cards will support two ADSL lines per card. The cards will convert the data traffic into ATM cells and statistically multiplex them onto an OC-3 linked to a carrier's ATM network. The DLCs will support up to 22 ADSL lines, or 11 cards per statistical multiplexer, according to Linda Manchester, director of DSL for Lucent. The DLC cards will be ready for beta testing by year's end and be available early next year. Westell also is working with Lucent to integrate its SuperVision DSLAM with Lucent's 5ESS. The DSLAM will be physically collocated in the equipment bays that house the switch. It also will be integrated with the switch's wiring and operations support systems (OSSs) to provide seamless provisioning and operations and to minimize wiring, says Bill Rodey, vice president of channel sales for Westell. Initially, one bay will support 250 ADSL lines. The 5ESS integrated DSLAM will be available this quarter, he adds. <WSTL has initial 5ess orders to be manufactored thru Dovatron in NY> Any clues as to how many? Dug
