Wow, ATT lets you pick your own modem now? Usually they give you one.

3com ditched their cable modem business (already) so those are dead-ends.

The default modem is an RCA and seems to work well in the installations

Based on the suck factor of the Moto/GI DCTs, I would stay far, far away
from those. :)
