Hey, folks -
One of my counterparts asked me if I could post the following to the list to
see if anyone else has experience with a product or a combination of
products that meet(s) the following criteria. Spirent (Smartbits) xDSL test
gear is already a consideration... looking for anything else in the
marketplace.
Contact me off-list if so desired... I'm just the messenger though.
Thanks,
Tim
