Ahh, Knology. If it's using Ethernet then there shouldn't theoretically be anything limiting it to OS 9. It's been a long long time since I've dealt with Knology (I do tech support for a major ISP) but it's been around awhile. I just talked to the folks here and as far as we know, it's entirely ethernet based with DHCP addressing. That means that theoretically you could run it on System 7.1 running OT with DHCP. Heck, I think there was DHCP on System 6. Should be fine, though you might have trouble getting their tech support to help you with it. My guess is they limit it to OS 9 to minimize support costs. It's a lot easier to arbitrarily cut it off at 9 than to try to support all the OSes from 7 through X.
