This was probably VMWare. Check out www.vmware.com

I doubt you need this. Is the cable modem external and connected to one
of your serial ports? If so, then you can probably convince ppp to dial
it for you. You might have to plow through a lot of stuff to make it
work, but it should work.

Tell us some more details, like what model the modem is, what does
Windows use as a connect string, etc. And once you get it all working
and know the steps then write it all up and make a how-to for other
people! (You're really not the only one who has that model. Everyone
else on your cable provider has it, too!)
