Table A-2, Payload Rates and DSL Line Rates for Model 8777, and Table A-3,
Payload Rates and DSL Line Rates for G.703, provide the maximum payload rates
achievable for each DSL line rate and the number of time slots required to achieve
that payload rate. For G.703, the payload rate depends on whether you are using
signaling (time slots 0 and 16) or data only (time slot 0).
