It USUALLY means Subscriber Line Carrier, but beside that.... SLC is a Bell ^H^H^H ATT ^H^H^H Lucent trademark/registered SM or some such BS. NorTel calls theirs different things. I've heard RLU and other terms. Some SLC's are directly connected, using "TR-303" I think it is. This is also called Universal. They are GREAT. But most of the time, the RBOC's, for reasons I do not claim to grasp, do not do that. They instead put a SECOND SLC rack in the CO *and bridge the last foot to the CO switch with copper*. Stupid, eh? THAT is where you get the multiple, 56K-killing, D/A conversions. One ISP in Maine kicked up a BIG fuss and NoNuts converted their SLC into Universal; all their problems went away.
