There is a WIC-1ADSL for 1700/2600. Not sure about an SDSL WIC. We have
done a few T1/ADSL and ADSL/ISDN setups and it seems to work fairly well. I
also spoke to a computer integrator that claimed they were working with
Cisco to develop a ping like action for determining if the next hop was
alive and if not set the interface down so it would failover to secondary
interface / route. I assume it would be a 12.3(x) ish release.
