DSL Gotcha .... <NT> SCO Binaries

[Ben Duncan]

Ok, having worked for a Telco for 3 years (Their Motto :
All the Finest School our Techs can attend), I feel I can throw
a little light on this as well.

Currently, yes there is a Limit, on the run from the CO (Dslam)
equipment, and as D.B pointed out, there are a LOT of other things
that go into the equation, such as line quality, line conditions, (Does
the Telco still use airial 30 year old copper? How do the maintain
their plant? ..etc..etc..).

I know for a fact that a SMALL ILec, up in the Delta here in Mississippi,
has offered DSL for a NUMBER of years for all of their Subscribers. Why?
Because the Owners had the foresight to run FIBER to all the most remote
demarc's and put in true DIGITIAL remotes. Now, RBOC's probably arent't
as interested in doing it this, whoud cost to much money and affect their
quartlerly earnings.

Now for the GOOD news. The RBOC's, (having succesfully gotten REVOKED
the "Wholesale" rate they may charge to Clec's), were required to run and supply
Broadband to ALL of even the remotest locations, as part of this  agreement by the
FCC. Now, those who are still fighting trying to get DSL, might want to ask
the ILEC to supply in the interium:
    A: SDSL (Dsl over Isdn) .. or ..
    B: 4 wire DSL (DSL thru a T1 style connection, but tarriffed like a DSL).

Ok now on to the new thread:

Need help on running SCO Binaries on LINUX on the latest kernel. Anyone hav any
luck getting Linux-abi to work? Currently the test Box is running OpenLinux 1.3 with
iBcs running on it, and it works, but I would (for this Project) like to go to the
latest stuff.

Thanks ..
