Thanks for that info. I could see the 36R516 having an issue because that uses an Alcatel chipset which is older.

The 2000 series for Westell use TI chipset. I would think those would work but can't say for sure.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,7084906 Tue, 10 Jun 2003 16:14:09 EDT Re: Westell modems with SBC Yahoo DSL http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,7084853 kmac1 : The only one SBC used was the 516, so as far as the others I wouldn't know.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,7084853 Tue, 10 Jun 2003 16:08:35 EDT Re: Westell modems with SBC Yahoo DSL http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,7076224 gdm :

Are you on a CO or RT line.

The reason is, the Westell is worth it's weight in gold on CO lines, but actually perform badly on real clean RT lines. It seems the Westell is programmed to expect a certain amount of db loss, which clean, close RT lines don't have.


That is interesting!! Is it all Westell's or just the 36R516. i.e. does the 2100 perform bad too?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,7076224 Mon, 09 Jun 2003 18:48:46 EDT Re: Westell modems with SBC Yahoo DSL http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,7076158 kmac1 : Are you on a CO or RT line.

Most 36R516's are and if not you can download a browser tool for the Westell that will let you change it.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,7075994 Mon, 09 Jun 2003 18:22:53 EDT Westell modems with SBC Yahoo DSL http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,7075917 Jungle18 : I am considering getting a second modem and (for reasons I've explained in my other posts about sync problems) would like to get a Westell.

Does the Westell 36R516 work with SBC DSL? Are there any models that I should avoid?

Thanks,
