I have been using a Motorola SB5100 for a several years, supplied by Time-Warner RoadRunner. It is just a straight cable-in ethernet-out box. After a couple of bouts of infant mortality and replacement, the one I have now just keeps working. I note that the Cox article points to the same (SB5100) data sheet and manual for all of the Motorola non-wireless models (SB5100, SB5101, SB5120). Looking at the Motorola web site: <http://broadband.motorola.com/catalog/productdetail.asp?ProductID=404> I can't tell the difference between 5101, 5102, and 5120, except that perhaps 5120 is newer. carl -- carl lowenstein marine physical lab u.c. san diego [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
