Nope, not in the case cited. It's become very popular for a local exchange carrier to provision a T-1 service (e.g, the framing, etc.) by using HDSL loop technology because it required fewer repeaters, is less demanding on binder group selection, and coexists with more services in a cable binder group than a normal T-1 does. I have just such a device screwed to the wall in my house, with an 2-pair HDSL connection coming in one end, and a T-1 signal coming out the other that plugs into a Cisco 2524 with built in CSU/DSU. > Repeat after me: DSL is ATM over copper wire. Nothing more, nothing > less, nothing magic. Yes, commonly ADSL services are provisioned simply to do ATM cell transport. Many SDSL services are provisioned to carry Frame Relay packets, rather than cells; if it's a Copper Mountain DSLAM, you can depend on it. louie To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
