HDSL

    (HDSL) A form of Digital
   Subscriber Line, providing T1 or E1 connections over two
   or three twisted-pair copper lines, respectively.  Unlike
   most other forms of DSL HDSL is not a typical consumer
   service, it's used mostly to replace traditional T1/E1
   connections, such as connecting PBXes to telco offices.
   The advantage of HDSL over the Alternate Mark Inversion line
   coding scheme traditionally used on T1/E1 lines is that it
   requires about an order of magnitude lower bandwidth to carry
   the same traffic.
