Yes, running IPoETHoATMoDSL is really nice if you own the dslam yourself, then it's only a media converter. It's also nice to be able to have a very simple L3 device in the CO and do routing there, avoids all the need for secure metro ethernet and long L2 transport. very clean.

I don't do anything without consideration of the future. My own network, and even some of the local AT&T pops easily handle sliding of DSL customers to interconnected ISPs. Extremely easy with ATM, and even doable with 802.1ad for those non-atm DSLAMs (idiotic sales pitch isn't it? Of course, it has ATM!). Jack
