Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Ok, in some week I will have modem cable(motorola's cybersurfr). I would like to know: 1:what ethernet card (10baseT) should I use on my not-scsi PC P200 without problems. 2:does it's possible to use my freebsd has a router for another computer if; modem cable--->FreeBSD-box with "one" ethernet card--->coaxial to--->foo computer Do I need 2 ethernet card on my FreeBSD box? I dont want a hub. Ideally, I would like to use only one ethernetper computer. But the tech guy say to me than I cannot use the coax if the rj-45 is in use with the modem. My finances are limited ;-) What would be the better solution? 2 ethernet card on the freebsd box and one on the other or a hub or anything else I dont know about :-) ? 3:Does it's true than there is an upload limitation or any kind of limitation in the cybersurfr cable modem wich are not official? I've heard weird stories about a 20k limitation in the upload ;-) Do you want more info? Tank you PS:I will be connected to videotron, in Montreal, canada. PPS:Can someone explain me why my cable modem 24hours connection will cost me 55$ CAN per month (with the location of the modem included) and than a SLOW 56kpbs connection 24hours would cost me 150$ CAN? -- [Malartre][malartre@aei.ca][http://www.aei.ca/~malartre/] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
