you need to get through to a Tier 2 or even a Tier 3 at Bellsouth DSL operations, and get the straight dope. IIRC, you need DSLAM's that are Alcatel chipset compatible. I have successfully installed many 827's here in Pac Bell land, and the Cisco 827 is NOT on the official approved list. Or at least it wasn't a year ago, which was the last time I checked. Other engineers have told me that once in a while they run into a DSLAM that is not Alcatel based, and so the Cisco products do not work on them. Recognize that if you install a DSL router that is not supported by the telco, you are on your own. In the case of my customers, this has never been an issue. This includes a major tech company who is a major customer of my employer ( not mine ) whose name everyone here on this list would recognize. > > Thanks > > Adam Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=60671&t=60668 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
