What kind of cable modems are they leasing to you? Zenith? LAN City? Or are they doing it some other way? If so, I can't provide much help :/
With either the Zenith or the LAN City product, the cable modem is actaully an ethernet switch/cable modem, and an ehternet card is installed into your PC. So, all you need to have are the drivers for the ethernet card (shouldn't be a big deal, Linux has a ton) and all the pertinent IP info. In my "real" (read day) job, I work for Midcontinent Media in Sioux Falls, SD. We are attempting to roll out cable access - we already have it active in a few test markets. It's going well ... people love the 1 Mbps access speeds, and they like the price. -- Nathan Norman : Hostmaster CFNI : [EMAIL PROTECTED] finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for PGP public key and other stuff Key fingerprint = CE 03 10 AF 32 81 18 58 9D 32 C2 AB 93 6D C4 72 -- On Thu, 5 Jun 1997, Richard Morin wrote: :Hi folks, :I've ignored the cable access threads in the past because it didn't :pertain to me.
