Guy- I don't know if there are any specific restrictions, but ADSL is ADSL from what I've experienced.
You just have to work with the ISP to ensure you are both on the same page about VPI/VCI parameters, and whether or not you need to activate bridging on the router to translate the ATM packets to Ethernet. Beyond that, it should be a piece of cake... but no guarantees. The 1700 & 2600 series routers have a WIC that should work for you (WIC-1ADSL)(which means you won't need the ISP's "DSL Modem". If you don't do the WIC-1ADSL, you will need the ISP's DSL modem, and a 1700 or 2600 series router with the WIC-1ENET module (supports PPPoE if needed). The WIC-1ENET seems to be compatible with most DSL implementations... but you also can get away with any Cisco router that the IOS supports PPPoE (I think 12.2.2 and up, but maybe 12.1.5T... check Feature Navigator for more details). Also note that, in my experience, if you are being assigned a block of IP's, then the PPPoE is a non-issue, and you don't usually have to configure the VPDN parameters on the router.... rather you just treat it like a P-t-P connection, and assign your ip addy to the Ethernet interface, etc., etc. Hope this helps.

Does anyone know if Cisco sells an ADSL router that will work with Covad's ADSL service? -----Original Message----- From: Lupi, Guy Sent: Friday, September 20, 2002 12:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Cisco 806 ADSL Router and Covad [7:53724] Does anyone know if this ADSL router is compatible with Covad's ADSL service?
