If you have web access, try the following site which contains an ADSL tutorial:
http://www.adsl.com/adsl/adsl_tut.html Here are the first two paragraphs from that page: ADSL Twisted Pair Access to the Information Highway Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL), a new modem technology, converts existing twisted-pair telephone lines into access paths for multimedia and high speed data communications. ADSL transmits more than 6 Mbps to a subscriber, and as much as 640 kbps more in both directions. Such rates expand existing access capacity by a factor of 50 or more without new cabling. ADSL can literally transform the existing public information network from one limited to voice, text and low resolution graphics to a powerful, ubiquitous system capable of bringing multimedia, including full motion video, to everyone's home this century. ADSL will play a crucial role over the next ten or more years as telephone companies enter new markets for delivering information in video and multimedia formats. New broadband cabling will take decades to reach all prospective subscribers. But success of these new services will depend upon reaching as many subscribers as possible during the first few years. By bringing movies, television, video catalogs, remote CD-ROMs, corporate LANs, and the Internet into homes and small businesses, ADSL will make these markets viable, and profitable, for telephone companies and application suppliers alike. Here's another page which covers ADSL and other broadband technologies (known generically as xDSL): http://www.telechoice.com/xdslnewz/ If you don't have web access, let me know and I will send you other information via fax or mail.
