No, they're not. POTS telephones and ISDN are both end-to-end
connection-oriented services. ADSL/XDSL is a connection
between the user and a router at the CO. You can not make a

A user can install a router also and most ADSL modems are also routers.

That has nothing to do with my point. You claimed that DSL was
just like two other services that are customer-to-customer
connection-oriented services.

DSL is a customer to DSLAM/CO service. The data then has to be
routed through some non-connection-oriented network. DSL does
not provind a connection-oriented, end-to-end connection the
way POTS and ISDN do.

I don't see that as significant in another way. Currently
virtually all customer-to-customer data circuits are provisioned
through a CO located digital switching system, which is circuit
switched as opposed to packet switched. It just is not called a
DSLAM, and has slightly different characteristics due to the target
use.

It's merely a matter of whether the switching system does
IP routing, or not. If not, then the customer is responsible
for routing. But either way, IP traffic can be routed, and can
be on a private or a public network. DSL is just one technology
to deliver data to a subscriber location, and in that way is
not different than a T1, for example.

The biggest difference is *regulatory*. One tariff says "T1",
another says "DSL".

And I don't see what any of it has to do with the OP who wanted
to access data at a remote site using POTS lines.

Likewise, I see no relevance. It simply does not apply.
