Re: New Model: Westell 2200 DSL Modem
Oh, I bet this is the modem that some lucky VZ'ers are going to test shortly.
Verizon signed a fairly large deal with Westell to supply DSL modems and other gear, and they've standardized on this product line, so I think it would be highly unlikely that Verizon would switch vendors (although weirder things have happened...)
One of the interesting things about the DHT / PSD technology is that it requires no modification or additional equipment to the ATM-C (i.e. DSLAM) side of the circuit, so Verizon could easily deploy the 2200 modems without changes to their infrastructure.
Now, what I really wish Verizon would do is carry the "all-in-one" Westell DSL Modem + Router + 4-port Switch + Wireless Access Point and ditch the current Linksys Home Networking Kit.

Dan, as always you crystallized the thought on everyone's mind, at least on mine. I would have very much liked to see some wireless support in the next generation of their 2x00 routers.
For those of you guys who share your homes with a four legged critter, chewed up CAT5E spans which you worked very hard to make "chew proof" eventually lead one down the path of never wanting to replace another CAT5 span as long as you live
Let's hope for a wireless solution-all-in-one in the next model. For now my D-Link AP will have to do 
Best wishes,
Sed
