I got a Zhone 6652-A2 from eBay. It uses an Ikanos chipset, so it does actually sync and work with the Stingers. The web interface is easy and you can configure the VLAN ID 35 on all 4 ports to act as a bridge. This part was stupid easy, and it works. It even pulls 50meg no problem on speedtests in bridge mode.
However, not all is rosy... While it syncs at full 53936 downstream, it has issues on upstream, and I can't seem to figure out how to tweak it... the firmware is the latest, i contacted Zhone and they said they dont have any newer ones. But this one contains a very old VDSL driver, (from 2007) and I'd be guessing this is an issue.
Both the Cellpipe & Sagemcom sync no problem at 11320 on my line.
This modem is fully accessible thru telnet, so editing the vdsl.conf file is easy, but i've tried all the settings, was even suggested i copy settings from the sagemcom file, and it does not improve things...
I wonder if its somehow possible to find a newer Ikanos VDSL driver, and package it into this modem's firmware...
