Re: [PLUG] off topic, need DSL modem
|
| ATM means "asynchronous transfer mode". I don't know a whole lot about
| the technology except that it's often seen in High-end networking kit
| and never in consumer-level stuff.
it is not often *seen* in consumer-level stuff, but it is there
lurking behind the scenes.
nearly all DSL being deployed is ATM underneath. generally
consumer-grade DSL is (ppp over) ethernet over ATM over DSL
and business-grade DSL is just ATM over DSL.
