I've been poking around looking for an inexpensive xDSL circuit tester =
to do some measurements on my home DSL line, in opposition to the telco. =
$2K+ is not in the budget, so I'm curious about the accuracy of the $300 =
Chinese units kicking around eBay (e.g. the ST332B).  Anyone out there =
have experience with them?  Are they even remotely close to accurate?
