Wayde,

You sent this to the list. I'll reply here lest people think I'm ignoring
you. :)

I don't show a DSL account under your name.  So no, DSL line commands aren't
going to help your DSL equipment if you don't have DSL :) joallen is not a
DSL account.

If you're having speed problems, the #1 issue out there on modem dialup
problems is outdated modem firmware.  You can get updaters at

People in Longmont have had trouble recently due to the phone switch change
there at US West. Many of these people saw dramatic improvements once they
upgraded their modem firwmare to a later version from their modem
manufacturer.
