Michael,
Unfortunately, I don't have any hard numbers to back up my claim.
However, what I can tell you is that I have tried most ADSL "modems"
from SpeedStream and Netopia. I wasn't as impressed with any of them.
Way back when I used to host astlinux.org, krisk.org,
kriscompanies.com, etc on my SBC ADSL connection. I also ran my first
Asterisk server on the same pipe. The Sangoma (combined with astshape)
was the ONLY ADSL "modem" that could provide a good VoIP call in the
weeks after a new release of AstLinux!
