Hey
I ran a 2.3mbps sdsl circuit over swisscom "2-Draht Kupferleitung" when I was still in apprenticeship. Used a pair of ZyXEL Prestige 681 Routers. The line was around 1000 meters long, according to Swisscom.
It worked fine. Only slight problem the ZyXELs themselfes was, they generate a lot of "source quench" icmp messages when the sdsl circuit goes down. Doesn't make sense to me, I think "dest unreachable (net)" would be more appropriate?
Other than this, the single, "real" problem I ever had with this solution was when Swisscom mistakenly shut my line down (!) on some idle Friday afternoon, around 5 pm and of course without further notice, because they apparently tought I cancelled the contract - even tho they had collected the monthly fee on time for about two years. It took me about 3 hours of fone calling and looping thru Swisscom support numbers to find out wtf was going on. After that, it took 'em a whole friggin week to bring the line back up ;-\
So if you don't really need high speeds, and if those ZyXELs are still on sale, it might be an alternative.
Cheers Chris

Hi list!
We are looking for a set of VDSL-modems to connect a customer. Swisscom is delivering 2-wire-copper (PtP). Which products can be recommended? Is anybody willing to sell 2 modems (or anything suitable for Master-/Slave-operation)?
TIA for hints and/or offers.
Tobias
