-Broadcom chipsets are widely used in ADSL routers, and most incorporate a very similar CLI command set, accessed through its telnet interface. It should be noted though that a number of ISP customised versions of these routers have the telnet interface disabled.

 In this article we will use 'adsl', but depending on your router you may need to use one of these alternative forms.

	Although this graph shows some negative values of N, it's not possible to enter negative values directly in the command. However it's possible to produce the same result by entering very large positive values. To do this, subtract the negative value from 65536; e.g. to simulate the effect of a value of -50, enter 65536 - 50 = 65486.

-=== Note regarding Netgear routers ===
+=== Note regarding the 'adsl' command ===
-Netgear routers use a slightly modified version of the Broadcom CLI command set. The command which is used most often is 'adsl' with various parameters, but in Netgear routers this command is replaced by 'adslctl'. On this page we will use 'adsl', but Netgear users will need to substitute 'adslctl'.
