#265 — CO technology query -- line cards [telecom]

A little {retired} bird flew by and told us that instead of
needing a separate DSLAM in any CO or SLC offering ADSL; there
is now a line card that will do either 4 POTS lines/slot, or 
1 POTS+DSL.

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.

If you don't want to be public; send the moderator or me a note
from a throwaway address.

If anyone wants to send me an email which is _N_ot _F_or _P_ublication,
*PLEASE* put the glyph "[nfp]" (no quotes) in your subject line
instead of "[telecom]".

BTW, posts which you intend to be anonymous should have "[anonymous]"
instead of telecom in the subject, and if you want me to obfuscate
your email address to prevent harvesting by spambots, use
"[obfuscate]" (no quotes).

What kind of CO are you on?

Lucent/Alcatel?
Nortel?
Ericsson?

It may well be that one vendor has this beasty but others don't.

A. It disrupts the normal top-to-bottom flow of a written communication.
Q. Why is top-posting bad?

True. I was thinking Lucent since a nearby existing SLC is
same, off a 5ESS ORM.  But it could be Verizontal would install
Brand X Y or Z instead. [I've not seen same; only the classic
Lucents.]

We were tipped about the card I described was described by a retiree.
So we know She buys them, or did...we just don't know the manufacturer.

Another source has pointed me to <http://www.ciena.com/products/cnx-5/>
as one flavor.
