Abstract
Multi-drop Asymmetrical Digital Subscriber Loop (ADSL) modems have at least two sets of digital front end circuitry which allow for simultaneous connections to at least two local loops. A shared DSL modem is operably associated with each of the two sets of digital front end circuitry and transmits and receives data to and from the digital front end circuitry. A digital interface is operably associated with the shared DSL modem and is configured to communicate with an external network.
