Thanks,

I'm on the market for such a device.  In the past, I've played around with
ISDN gear with similar capabilities.

How is Apache2.0?  I've been waiting for it to come out of beta before I
play with it...

I use ADSL so my knowledge of cable modems is zip ... however...

Assuming that your cable modem is a box with a network connection
(TP/BNC etc) then you might try using something like the NETGEAR RT314
(http://www.netgear.com/product_view.asp?xrp=4&yrp=12&zrp=55) - these
devices handle the connection to the modem and network login and provide
NAT and DHCP to whatever you hook up on your side.  I have one and run
an NT server, Windows XP-Pro, FreeBSD and Linux boxes simultaneously.
One nice feature is that it include a built-in client for dyndns.org so
you can get a free domain for your dynamic IP address ... check
http://batonrouge.homeunix.org - running Apache 2.0 and SSH.  You can
admin the Netgear box to hide everything or just expose individual ports
to the net - mine hides all the machines except the FreeBSD box.
