DSL is definitely NOT plug and play at this time. And yes it is no fun at
all trying to find someone at any DSL provider who can tell you all the
equipment they certify as compatible with their DSLAM's.
At this point in time, I believe the Cisco 827's will work on Pac Bell's
network, as with the Cayman 1000. I had to do some research on this a few
weeks ago, but I can't put my finger on the notes I took. Pac Bell at that
time had about 6 devices they certified as compatible. Probably anything in
the Alcatel line, as the DSLAM's in most CO's are Alcatel.
You would have similar issues with Covad and Northpoint, if the scuttlebutt
I hear is correct.

As I understand it, you can't use a 675 to connect to PacBell, because
of the DSLAMs that they use. The 675 uses rate-adaptive CAP encoding (I
believe GTE and US West use these DSLAMS), PacBell uses the Discreet
MultiTone (DMT) ANSI T1.413 Issue 2 standard available on the 677 and
the 827.
Of course Cisco never mentions this, PacBell never mentions this, and
its like pulling teeth to get the applicable information. I got this
far by quizzing the PacBell help desk on who builds the DSLAMs (Alcatel)
then calling Alcatel to see what encoding I need to use.
Hope this helps,
Jeremy
