I have an Efficient Networks, Inc. SpeedStream 5260 you're welcome to
borrow short-term. Check with your provider to make sure it will work.
I used it for 1.5/384 ADSL with a provider other than yours.

From V.E.R.A. -- Virtual Entity of Relevant Acronyms December 2001

DMT
Discrete Multitone Technology (ADSL, Amati Communications,
ANSI)
ATM means "asynchronous transfer mode". I don't know a whole lot about

and never in consumer-level stuff.
