I did a search via deja news and found the following... I have no idea how to help solve this problem, but hopefully, this information will help point the way. From: Randy Frei <freir@removethis.com21.com> Subject: Re: ADSL & 1/2 Duplex Cable Modems Date: 29 Jun 1998 00:00:00 GMT Message-ID: <3597B83B.960CDE12@removethis.com21.com> Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit References: <6mvncd$e0d$1@supernews.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Organization: Com21 MIME-Version: 1.0 NNTP-Posting-Date: Mon, 29 Jun 1998 08:53:24 PDT Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.openbsd.misc Com21's telephone return modem works with any multihoming stack. I run BSDI in this mode. Just configure the UNIX machine to "look like" the Windows 95 machine in this configuration. Configure the IP address of the ethernet card with the address that the cable company assigns. Configure the dialup networking (PPP) to use the username and password they assign. Make sure that after a connection is established the default route is out the PPP interface. That should be it. The cable modem system handles the split paths so no special driver is needed. - Randy The views expressed here are my own and do not necessarily reflect those of the company I work for or any ot her parties involved.
