What is the best modem for Alcatel dslam?

Greetings Woodro,
Most modems should work with your Telco's DSLAM. The ones that will not work are the Nortel (CAP protocol; incompatible) and the D-Link is to be avoided (very unreliable modems, but the routers are OK).
I also know that there are various versions of the Speedstream 5000 series modems, some are very basic, but they are upgradeable. Fact is; modems (without incorporated routers) do so little that as long as it is reliable, you should be OK.
Best of luck.

Netopia has released a new ADSL modem/router that they have been selling pretty darn cheap to some large ILECs. You may want to contact them as their routers are actually cheaper than most modems. If you need some contact info, feel free to send me an email.
