The need for the dialer on Cable is mostly because of the ease of uncapping the cable line using the Motorola Surf cable modems + DHCP, with the pptp/VPN style connection they can easily limit the connection speed on their firewall/router and even if you successfully uncap your cable modem you

Dan. Thanks for adding hspell to -extra. Do you have any idea if it'll be possible to add add ooo-hspell to -extra (or better yet, making it OO 2.0 compatible and then add it to -extra?) Gilboa On Mon, 2005-09-19 at 20:07 +0300, Dan Kenigsberg wrote: Hi List, I thought it would be nice
