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.
