They don't want you to have to much control of your cable modem. For a while there was a way to configure it with SNMP and get it "uncapped". They fixed that fairly quickly with a firmware upgrade. The serial port on your digital cable box is for it to interface with things like TiVo to control the channels for recording. > I'm beginning to hate ComCast already, and I haven't even *used* > their stuff yet :) (and I thought DSL was the only technology that > had install horror-stories :) I used to hear tons of DSL horror stories.. Those are mostly gone now, unless you're on the frindge of the service area things go very smoothly. My DSL (MV.com) install went easier then any of my cable installs. _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
