I think we're missing the point on the original poster's question. I also have a cable modem hooked up to a NIC, and it was a breeze. But I have a coax cable link that goes _both ways._ The original poster has a setup where uplink is via a phone modem, downlink is the cable modem. I'm sorry I can't help with answers, but several people have answered like this. It does not seem like it would be that simple. You need some program to interface with the phone modem, but how does one set up ppp (if that is the right choice) to only send, but have the NIC receive? -- Crist J.
