I am smoking crack... you are right it was Charter, no Cox. Duh. It was the com21 when they first started one-way service in Hammond....we hopped on pretty early. some of us used it for years and never got a bill from charter... later i upgraded to two-way. it was still a com21 modem, not sure if it was DOCSIS though. > You'd have to build an interesting device indeed to do that.

Nice... my thinking was to find a PCI cable modem, and if someone had a linux driver for it perhaps it could decode whatever was on the cable line into ethernet. But i never did find such a beast, and never did learn enough about Charters network figure it out, heh... -ray -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ray DeJean http://www.r-a-y.org Systems Engineer Southeastern Louisiana University IBM Certified Specialist AIX Administration, AIX Support =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
