My query is: Does anyone know the manufacturer/model number of this card? It's likely that only a craft person working with same would know, but hey, I bet some of them read this newsgroup... We ask because various lower-level folks at a RBOC {guess which} insist it does not exist; and there's no way to have ADLS sans outboard DSLAM. I guess they are afraid they might have [to] provision ADSL if people could order it.
