show interfaces output - explain?

Can someone please explain a few details about my show interfaces output? It is a Cisco 800 series that operates as a DSL modem.

What do each of the interfaces mean? ATM0, ATM0.1, Dialer0, Dialer1, Virtual-Access1?

What does the BW mean exactly? Total bandwidth for that interface? The DSL is supposed to have 3Mbit download and 800Kbit upload...why do I only see 800Kbit in the output?

Why does the BW only show 56Kbit for some of the interfaces(Dialer0, Dialer1, Virtual-Access1)? I assume it is something to do with the phone line?

What does the "spoofing" mean?

ATM0 is up, line protocol is up Hardware is MPC ATMSAR (with Alcatel ADSL Module) MTU 4470 bytes, sub MTU 4470, BW 800 Kbit, DLY 460 usec, reliability 255/255, txload 11/255, rxload 6/255

Thank you very much! James

If you want to check your xDSL speed use show dsl command and look for Speed in the out put. e.g.

ADSL#show dsl interface atm 0 : : :

Interleave Fast Interleave Fast Speed (kbps): 0 1024 0 256
