formats for DSL transport over ATM PVCs, including the widely supported ADSL protocols
RFC 1483 (MPoA), RFC 1577 (IPoA) and RFC 2364 (PPPoA).
It supports multimode - fully compliant with ANSI T1.143 Issue 2, ITU-T G.992.1 (G.dmt)
and G.992.2 (G.Lite) featuring Discrete Multi-tone (DMT) line encoding used by major ADSL
manufacturers. DSL9100R further guarantees interoperability with network providers
