That suggests that it's an ASL (Analog Subscriber Line)...
When the signal is placed on the wire, it is very analog. the digital signal is modulated onto the wire and demodulated off of it and the box that connects to the phone line at each end is properly and fairly commonly called a DSL modem. If the path was entirely digital, it would be a CODEC (CODer/DECoder). It is a modem. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.

Very true. There's more than you ever really wanted to know about the technology of DSL at: http://www.oftel.gov.uk/ind_groups/nicc/Public/reports/Intfr_i1.pdf -- Roland Perry
