The Modem itself is a ComPort 21
my ISP and Cable Modem Provider is anchorageak.net
a subsidiary of gci.net
I do not know their specific "protocol"?
I could ask if more info is needed,
just would need to know "what to ask!?"
This is the provider I have often lambasted
in the Linux-Mandrake "expert" group for
total "cluelessless" re:Linux but at least
they try. I am running a static IP and the
biggest glitch of late was their tacking on
some kind of net-bios filter which caused
my access to crap out every 6 hours.
A tech who runs L-M 6.1 at home :>)
tracked down the problem and vola' its gone and
I'm on steady now!
BTW They are running at least one Linux DHCPD
server now :>)
