What I meant, and probably should have worded more clearly, is that by forcing DSL ISPs to use PPPoE which from what I understand is a consumer technology, SBC is the only provider who can offer other services over the DSL pair, such as ATM service or voice/video over IP. -C On Mon, Jun 25, 2001 at 01:35:59PM -0500, Chris Adams wrote:

If I'm reading this correctly, SBC is forcing ISPs that resell SBC's DSL access to go with PPPoE over ATM, thus potentially forcing businesses to buy DSL net access from SBC directly.
Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see how PPPoA forces businesses to buy DSL elsewhere. -- Chris Adams <cmadams@hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
