The Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) is a machine at the phone
company's central office that links many DSL connections to a single high speed Internet
connection. Please refer to your DSL provider's documentation for information on the
settings you should use. If you have questions about these settings, contact your DSL
provider. Your DSL provider can tell you the specific configurations that you need.
