I'm sure. I just couldn't resist the opportunity for a retaliatory "swipe in kind" :-)

LOL! Exceptionally good one, Paul!

John,

I never thought you were. You may be occasionally scurrilous, but never sophomoric. It's easy to tell the difference!

John Hang on, which one?

Oh, dear, grade school potty mouth stuff. 1/10

Why is my race a cause for hilarity, Jonny, unless you are a closet Kluxer on top of your other marvelous attributes.

I guess literary allusion goes over you head then, Jonny. I suppose I should have expected it, since your only expertise is the "good ole 555"

Your reply is rather pathetic; you haven't recognised the quotation, so you fall back to the grade school stuff. Please grow up a little if you wish to at least appear intelligent.

So you're a DSL and transmission specialist. What does that mean exactly? Something like you install cable modems?

You mean this?

1 a : using or given to coarse language b : being vulgar and evil

2 : containing obscenities, abuse, or slander

When?

Why dont you peurile bloody yanks find another forum to publicise your childish games. This, I thought was abt electronics. Your behavior does you and your country no credit.

Aw, c'mon! It's only a bit of harmless fun. Lighten up, FFS.

One must learn to winnow, mate. :-) BTW, its "puerile".

Not at all, John, I'm CEO of a small company which is developing a new type of line driver which will extend the range and bandwidth of DSL and will reduce the power requiremnts.

Cable is in direct competition with DSL, Digital Subscriber Line, which uses standard telephone lines to transmit high speed data, for example, fast internet access, rather than a specially installed cable. One of the advantages of the new line driver is that it will extend DSL to areas which it previiously could not reach, allowing it to compete more effectively with cable. For users already connected to DSL it will increase the available bandwidth, and therefore the speed of the connection.

This is achieved by reducing the capability of signals to produce NEXT and FEXT in adjacent wire pairs in the telephone cables. It also provides an exact hybrid match, eliminating echoes and an exact match of termination to line impedance, eliminating reflections and providing a VSWR of almost exactly 1.

Aditionally, it controlls common mode voltage, eliminating the need for transformers or CM chokes at the terminations, making it extremely economical as far as telcos are concerned.

So, really nothing like installing cable modems.

Thanks!

--------------- Nonsense, you're far too stupid, and any actual CEO beholden to stockholders would keep his stupid mouth shut.
