SHDSL seems a dead tecnology, as it can transfer only 2 MB per cable pair, so if you wish to have 4 MB, you need 2 cable pairs.
\nUnfortunately here in Italy in some places it is not possible to have more than 640k ADSL, with 64 upstream, so SHDSL Liberty 2 MB seems the only choice for several customers.<\/p>\n
Telecom Italia gives a (obbligatory) modem with a V35 to the customer, and would like to rent also a Cisco router – with prices of more than 100 Euro a month. Since SHDSL is a dead tecnology, it should be absolutely no problem to find a used Cisco 1841 router on eBay, for prices of a few 100 Euro. You need also a serial interface in this router (WIC2t interface for 2 serial interfaces) and a cable with a V35 interface on the one side and a serial interface on the other (it is not a classic serial interface with a 9 or 25 pin like on PCs!).
\nAnd if you acquire the router, pay attention to receive also the console cable (RJ45 on one side to connect to the router, serial 9 pin on the other side to connect to your PC).<\/p>\n
The Cisco router has only a command line interface, and for me worked this configuration (IP addresses and passwords masked):<\/p>\n
