Re: [newbie] NIC cards and Cable modems
We'll be getting a cable modem ISP before the end of the year, and I was wondering how compatible they are with Linux. Are they a pain to set [...] q: Are they a pain to set up? a: nope not the slightest The technology isn't too hard, but your cable company might be. If they are anything like the one here, just tell them you have a Windows 95 computer, let them set it up, then look at how it's configured after the person leaves. Don't even get into the Linux discussion with them. MB -- Michael R. Batchelor Industrial Informatics Instrumentation, Inc.
Re: [newbie] NIC cards and Cable modems
super easy to set up using an ethernet card. It my first experience with any kind of networking and it was fairly foolproof given enough setup information from your ISP. I'm using one now to connect my home network to the net and run a web server and ftp server etc etc Don --- On Tue, 29 Jun 1999, you wrote: We'll be getting a cable modem ISP before the end of the year, and I was wondering how compatible they are with Linux. Are they a pain to set up? Can you get an external one that hooks up to your serial port like analog and v.90 modems? And when you do set it up, since it's sort of an "always connected" sort'a service, would you configure a network setup instead of a dial-up network setup? Thanks for your time.Flight16
