The HotWire 8800 DSLAM can be configured to operate with multiple types of
Remote Termination Units (RTU) installed at the customer end of the telephone
loop to allow users at remote locations access to Internet Service Providers or
corporate networks by means of the DSLAM. For more information regarding
which DSL cards interoperate with which RTUs, see your Paradyne sales
representative
