The ADSL from Verizon might actually be more reliable than their T1 service in areas where there's a shortage of pairs. After all, there WILL be a dialtone (assuming the ADSL is piggy-backing on a voice circuit) and the odds are they're not going to pull the circuit. The xDSL standards folks probably should sacrifice a bit of bandwidth at the low end of the spectrum to generate an appropriate audio tone, letting the line workers know that the circuit IS in use. Clearly the absence of such has cost many folks a great deal of aggrevation, lost revenues, etc. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Daniel Senie [email protected] Amaranth Networks Inc. http://www.amaranth.com
