From what I gather from the website, the main difference is lower speed
and the fact that you can't use the line for voice & data
simultaneously. Just shooting from the hip after reading the network
disclosure, I _think_ it's PPP-over-ATM to the DSLAM, and then ISDN for
the last mile. There's a bit in there about HDLC, though, so now I'm not
so sure.
