See the [*] in my other reply. I should add that there are some sub-pieces of the MSOs that still use a variation of @Home's method. Basically, those are segments that were bought out and never fully merged into the big boys' (AT&T, Charter, Comcast) infrastructure. That's being left for the next wave of network-wide upgrades. - Dan. -- MacNetwork is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
