Thanks for the answers so far on this issue. Although it leaves me with questions to ask the developer rather than my friend doing some of the construction work :)
Basically the information I've gotten so far is from a friend of mine who got a contract to do all the porches in this development. Currently there's only 1 house in the area & it's for the guy who will be managing the whole housing development. As far as I know, nothing else will be bulit until at least next spring. The plan is a higher end housing development, the pricing for the land itself is definately on the high end, but the people coming in from East & West Coast aren't blinking an eye at the figures for just the land. Unfortunately this tosses out the idea of the easy way of simply running CAT5 cable through an apartment complex (I've thought of doing this before also). Another idea I thought of was to set up wireless access points throughout, but that can get messy and/or complicated... however a possible idea considering it's a new toy :) As to the questions of whether he is providing the cable service or simply forwarding someone elses I don't know. More than likely either way he will be getting the cable service from Comcast (I'm not sure if Roadrunner is in that part of town or not). If anyone has any knowledge of either of these & how easy they are to deal with, please let me know. The guaranteed way to solve this is to simply dump a leaf box in each house built which might be the better way as Jim might want to set up a Quake server, but Bob doesn't want anyone even trying to connect to his computers. Either way I'm wondering if anyone has found a good place to get the necessary hardware? I was sort of hoping to find a small case just large enough to fit the hardware inside. Someone suggested I look at the shuttles, but those seem to much of a powerhouse and cash output just for a leaf box (or 20). At this point its all talk, but I'm interested in answers so I can pull this off :) Btw, is there a LEAF advocacy group or anything? I keep getting luser responses such as 'I don't have any info on my computer worth stealing, why do I need a firewall?' Not to mention I might have a media outlet... my neighbor is a news editor for one of the local news stations (can't remember whether it's fox, nbc, or what).
