what is VPI/VCI in DSL (Connect phone)?
89850
VPI = Virtual Path Identifier Valid range: 0-32\nVCI = Virtual Circuit Identifier Valid Range: 0-65536\n\nThese two together define an ATM connection from your modem to the central office that provides DSL or other ATM based services. The service provider would have provisioned an ATM channel with a certain VPI and VCI which will be included in the ATM header of each packet that you send or receive to let the central office know that it is from or intended for your modem.

It means Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet, it's usualy used with DSL connections.

Nothing.  DSL is broadband.

To my knowledge, all of this is proprietary and supplied by the VOIP. The hardware and software are supplied by the service provider.

Phone companies use A DSLAM to aggregate end user DSL lines into a a high speed link to the internet.  The more DSLAM's the more DSL lines a company can support.  DSLAM's work like a big network switch and operate at layer 2 on the OSI model.

Depending on the distribution you are using Linux should be pretty much plug and play with Verizon DSL. There are a few Linux distros that do require a bit more setup to work. You might want to check your chosen distros forums or post more information regarding the distro so we can answer you more specifically.

When your telecommunication provider provides you with a dsl plan,the use of the "splitter" allows you to use the telephone line both for the dsl service as well as for a chosen voice plan simultaneously.In case you want only the dsl service & not the voice plan it would be called a "stand alone" dsl plan.This has been necessitated by the fact that many consumers would rather use "VoIP" over their internet connections than the normal "PSTN"[Traditional Telephone Infrastructure] infrastructure for making calls.

Yu still have to have a voice and DSL line and a phone bill. Vonage has really competitive pricing against VOIP. You can download Skype for free. The thing about VOIP is that you can have a video phone and pay the same rate to look at some one while you talk. This is more of an added value feature for DLS providers.

As far as I understand, the virtual routers using VRRP need to be on the same network/VLAN so they would need to be connected to a switch.  The reason for this is because VRRP uses virtual MAC addresses and these wouldn't be visible to both of the Aruba 6000 devices if the VRRP packets were routed.

When you plug in the phoneline to your pc and go online, you are just making a different kind of phone call. It's sort of like what a fax machine does.  Technically, your phone is not disconnected, it is busy. \n\nFor a long time we dealt with this by having two phone lines coming into our house, but now you can often get DSL or Cable internet cheaper than a second phone line. (and it's much faster!)

You have to have a modem that is capable of receiving caller ID and also the software to display it.

Yes, your dial up modem on the PC will work, but only as a dial up connection, not as DSL. \n\nDial up modem uses Voice frequencies for data transmission whereas DSL modems use the frequencies that are well above Voice frequency. Thus in order to benefit from the broadband above your narrow voice band frequencies, you will require a DSL modem that uses the broad band to transmit data. \n\nUsing a Low pass filter, you can also talk via your phone at the same time you are accessing the internet. You can't do this with your voice band dial up modem.\n\nFor more tech info: http://www.tutorial-reports.com/networking/broadband/dsl/introduction.php
