[AusNOG] Simon Hackett's presentation from Comms Day yesterday - NBN fibre on copper prices

Chances are, it will hit an opto-isolator and damage the voice or DSLAM port, but not the entire DSLAM. It's pretty easy to figure out who did what.

We don't hear of lightning strikes taking out DSLAMs do we?

What's to stop someone lighting up a POTS line with 240v AC at the moment?  Malicious mis-use is always going to be hard to stop or isolate completely.
