<<The two most promising variations of xDSL for home networking are ADSL and a lower-speed derivative of ADSL called "G.lite." G.lite eliminates the need for the ADSL POTS splitter at the home and is often referred to as a "splitterless" technology. Instead, G.lite typically is implemented as an internal Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) adapter, enabling Plug and Play installation. G.lite has less-costly installation requirements than ADSL, because it does not require the telephone company to make a service call to the home. For this reason, advocates expect that G.lite will enjoy widespread adoption and speed deployment of xDSL services. For more information on xDSL, ADSL, and G.lite technology, see "WAN Technologies and Digital Subscriber Line," "ADSL Technology," and "G.lite Technology" at dell.com; Bachman: Thanks for posting the link to the DELL white paper on DSL and home networking. The G.lite version of DSL seems to be gaining acceptance and that is one reason I chose to take a position in AWRE -- the R & D powerhouse behind this new technology. DELL will support customers that want cable modems or DSL service and that's the best way to operate (flexibility is key). IMO, DSL will gain a much greater penetration than cable modems in the next 2-3 years. I expect AOL to announce more about their broadband strategy soon. I would not be surprised if they reveal expanded partnerships with the RBOCs to promote DSL. It will be interesting to see how all this develops. Best Regards, Scott
