That magic device would be a... switch! I can show you how to do the
same with Frame Relay, ATM of any flavor, Ethernet at 10/100/1000 mbps,
Token Ring at 4 and 16 mbps, FDDI, CDDI, and just about anything else
you'd care to name, all in the same chassis.
Repeat after me: DSL is ATM over copper wire. Nothing more, nothing
less, nothing magic.
