I was visiting my sister & brother in-law in NY this past weekend for a baby shower (oh, the joys...). They do have cable (road runner). My niece, aka the new mom, says that as she understands it, if you disconnect the PC from the cable/modem to try and insert a router/WAP, things get screwed up. She wasn't sure why or how, I tried to talk to a sales droid at a Best Buy ~25 miles away (it's in the wilds of NY) and she seemed pretty clueless about the situation. Since I had no desire to cause anybody any problem, I was without email/newsgroup access for ~4 days...
Does any of that make sense? I understand that the local cable office does have a WAP version as well as a non-WAP version of the modem. -- Take care | This clown speaks for himself, his job doesn't Wayne D. | supply this, at least not directly Part-time musicians are semiconductors ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
