Subject: DSL for israel
Dear sir,
There is a howto on how to setup DSL for Israeli ISPs. It is at the
address
http://vipe.technion.ac.il/~mulix/adsl-howto.txt.
It is very important, since they use PPTP in israel, with quirks.
I hope you can link to this site.

Alarm systems can present various problems, depending on the type of alarm
and how it is installed. This may require telco help for proper installation
so the one does not interfere with the other. Microfilters tend not to work

voice line, so an additional line is not required. A big selling point.
ADSL, like other DSLs, is limited by distance. 18,000 ft (5.5 km) is a

splitter or filters to isolate the DSL signal from POTS. Sometimes referred

compatible with the encoding. In other words, a CAP modem will not work
with a DMT service, and vice versa.
