DSL modem recommendation

[Ted Mittelstaedt]

What is your DSL provider, what telephone company are they using?
Are you running bridged or ppp mode DSL?

DSL modems all use proprietary implementations of the DMT protocol,
while many will interoperate with different DSL providers and
DSLAMS, not all will.
