The only info I've gotten that I've found useful was talking to the tech of the local cable co. here where I live, in regards to cable modems he claimed that any system with a net card in it would work, so I'm really looking forward to them getting that running, hopefully by the fall if they do things right. I also noticed that he was more willing to talk to me once he found out that I was using a unix varient, I wonder why that is? :) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - arthur@col.auracom.com In a world without fences, is there a need for gates --end-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
