How do you pronounce DSLAM?
Graham
Is it Dee Slam, D.S.L Am, or just D.S.L.A.M.
I Just want to bullsh... eh, I mean, sound informed should the subject come
up in conversation.

Well one of the Network Managers responsible for the broadband network
at BT prounced it 'Dizlam' in a recent phone conversation. Took me 10
minutes to work out what he was talking about!

I usually mutter it quietly and quickly, with the random pronunciation
of the day! When someone says "what was that" you just say "you know,
the DSL card in the exchange". You can even spell it out sarcastically
at this point if you want!
Usually Dee SLAM though.

Well, thar's it then!
Reminds me of an ongoing discussion with my doctor about the
pronunciation of 'doxazosin'.
Finally settled when I had dinner with the man from Pfizer involved in
naming it...!

A committee is probably slightly better than an advertising agency ;-)

Remember this was the name of the compound. The product name came later,
and that probably *was* from an advertising agency! (Cardura)
