I was talking with a Mcleod employee once about DLC and xDSL equipment,
and the thing was that noone is making the xDSL stuff for DLC chasssis
in non-controlled envrions (ie: not air conditioned).  Alot of these DLC
environs are out closer to the homes, in a box or underground, and with
*very* *very* tight space requirements.  I dont think QWest would offer
DLC based xDSL until they knew of a solution that lets them force Covad
and others keep their equipment at the CO instead at the DLC->copper
points.
