Thoughts On Cheap Chinese xDSL Testers

[Lyndon Nerenberg <lyndon () orthanc ca>]

I've been poking around looking for an inexpensive xDSL circuit tester to do some measurements on my home DSL line, in 
opposition to the telco. $2K+ is not in the budget, so I'm curious about the accuracy of the $300 Chinese units kicking 
around eBay (e.g. the ST332B).  Anyone out there have experience with them?  Are they even remotely close to accurate?
