Tom,
You didn't give us the brand name, but a Google search indicates that it is a 
Zoom cable modem.  It gets a good 4.4 rating on Amazon.  I will say, however, 
that if the installation program is the same one that came with my Zoom DSL 
modem, you would be wise to have sighted assistance handy.  The program was 
quite screen reader unfriendly.  I managed to get through the installation with 
great difficulty.  After installation though, the modem is still working well 
after 3 years, and its web-type user interface is easy to use.

I almost forgot to mention one other problem I ran into during installation.  
The installation program for the original modem that came from my service 
provider set all of the modem parameters automatically to match the service, 
but I had to enter some of these parameters manually when installing the 
replacement modem.  Fun! Fun!

  I have learned that my internet service provider will start charging $5 a 
month for use of their modem. I am looking at a 5341J modem to replace it. It 
willpay for itself in 16 months. Are there any types of modems thatmay cause 
conflicts with Window-Eyes. Earlier today, a lister stated that WE froze up on 
him during download. I would appreciate your thoughts.
