As far as I know there is no support for either internal cable modems or internal DSL modems. Shooting the idiots at your ISP is probably the best option. ;-) On that DSL option, that sounds like IDSL (i.e. DSL with ISDN switching) so you might want to consider ISDN. It's metered, but at least it probably wouldn't cost $7500 to install. -- Brooks -- "Those who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security, will not have, nor do they deserve, either one" --Thomas Jefferson To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
