On occasion I have posted good news from Old Europe regarding Open Source.
This one isn't. I don't know what to suggest that late in the process.
Still the message gives some inside into 'how the process works' (i.e. the

With modern switching systems, it's pretty much digital almost the
whole way ;) It just gets flipped around a few times on the way.

No, it's not a lie, per say. A DSL modem demodulates an analog signal
from the wire into digital information. It also takes digital
information and modulates it into an analog signal and put onto the

No, it's not a lie, per say. A DSL modem demodulates an analog signal
from the wire into digital information. It also takes digital
information and modulates it into an analog signal and put onto the
