DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line.
Basically, it is a way of providing high bandwidth connectivity by using existing telephone lines to your home. Now before some smarty-pants "Jumps my case" /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif, this is a VERY SIMPLIFIED and PSEUDO-ACCURATE description. In reality, there's a lot more "to it."
If you're really curious and want some more detail, here's a link that I think describes things pretty well overall (diagrams, definitions, & such). Hope it helps! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
