Altering a Cisco 675 for use on DMT DSL Connection?

Indigo asks: "I recently moved from one apt. to another in my building. I called Quest to change the DSL service. I waited the 10 business days. Yesterday the service was turned on and low and behold my Cisco 675 doesnt work. I call tech support and come to find out that all new DSL orders are using DMT instead of CAP. The 675 is CAP mode only. I now have to buy a new router for $200. I was wondering if you could tap the incredible power of your readers and see if anyone knows how to alter a 675 to use DMT DSL. I have been told it is possible by Quest, but they will not give me the info. Please help!"

    I'm sure you Asked Google and Asked Google Groups before you Asked Slashdot.. but on the off chance that you didn't, I just did: there seems to be a 100% prevailing opinion that the Cisco 675 does not support DMT, will not, can't be made to, etc.

    ..and a quick quick look on eBay reveals that maybe a lot of people are in the same bind as you.. lots of 675's for sale, anyway! You can get $100 for it if you're lucky..
