So with the DMT stardard, the modem and the hardware on the other end do NO error correction themselves? I find that hard to believe. I am not trying to make enemies here, but what you are saying is illogical. The reason we HAVE a DSL modem is that we can't send tcp/ip directly over a phone line. Its encoded into some other format (which I don't claim to know the details of - DMT/CAP/etc..), and there has to be some kind of error checking. It would be unreasonable to think otherwise.
