The Prestige is the ideal high-speed Internet access solution. Your Prestige supports TCP/IP protocol, which the Internet commonly uses. It is compatible with all major ADSL DSLAM (Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer) providers. A DSLAM is a rack of ADSL line cards with data multiplexed into a backbone network interface/connection (e.g., T1, OC3, DS3, ATM or Frame Relay).
