Can't believe nobody's confirmed for Tony that he's spot on about the term "modem" being wrong for *DSL. It's pure marketing-speak, a holdover from pre-broadband days, something the punters understood and was close enough in function. Less sure of my ground now: I think it's correct to call it a codec, which we usually think of as a software library these days, but can be hardware. Gordon would know.
