Not to be picky but ADSL, and SDSL are asymmetrical and symmetrical respectively. Asymetrical refers to uploads and downloads being a different speeds.
At the places I've worked that have the multiple developer problem several things were apparent:
1. Use of versioning mandatory.
2. Multiple hourly builds present too many problems to other builders. It usually shows an environment where insufficient testing is done.
The only way out is to control checkins. Generally speaking, a team leader / build leader approves or disapproves checkins. Note that this is only necessary in crunch times but checking with others in yhour team is still a requirement. Don't forget, in teams of under 7 or so, you generally know whats happening.
In several embedded development worksites, it worked pretty well if certain developers "owned" resources -- noone else accessed thos devices. If I needed a special access routine to X's floppy, X would provide it.
