Scott,

This is very good information. Where can I learn more about it?

ok. So people have come to believe T1=good DSL=flakey and opted for the
old tried and true 4 wires delieverd by the ILEC, with many repeaters
along the path; rather than gamble on DLS delievered by the CLECS. BUT
now the smartjack accepts the 4 wires comming from my router interface
and converts it to DSL so that it can be transmitted on 2 wires - and
then does the same conversion at the other end of the circuit (keeping
the entire process transparent to me)
