RE: DSL connection problems to iSeries (clarification)

["Reeve" <news@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The "overworked router" being one of the DSL's routers, I assume...there's

victims.

There are still telco folks out there thinking a 2-pound ball-peen enforcer
upside the demarc solves data problems.  

Thanks for the insight!
