any such thing as a fast retrain dsl modem, that would work with local centurylink lines? my searches coughed up patents but not modems. the TCFMeetinghouse apparently has a line that's fine for voice but the actiontec q1000 (presuming that's what they have) spends alot of time doing retrains, leaving folk to pull their hair and gnash their teeth. if you've ever tried to get qwest to fix a noisy line you know it's easier to pull those teeth. so i wonder about the modem technology. clearly they work well with nice quiet lines, but i'd say the garden variety modems are not at all robust with a bit of noise. seems like better designs should be possible. (i have the same to say about the robustness of the linux IP stack, but that's a different topic.) tia, -g
