[c-nsp] UBR Questions

[James Galliford]

Hrm, I have to agree with Michel on this one.  Upgrading to 16-QAM is
a great idea in theory but in reality can be quite scary with respect
to managing your cable plant properly.

Also, I'm not sure if the built-in RF card in the 7114 can do DOCSIS
2.0.  As far as I know they cannot do A-TDMA or S-CDMA.
