Probably to read the Cable Modem HowTo; there is one now, at
www.linuxdoc.org . I can help with specific questions (as can others here,
I'm sure), but you need something to walk you through the basics first. You
need to know or decide things like --
what you want the machine to do: just connect itself,
or serve as a router/firewall for other workstations?
what services do you want to run? to access?
how the cable service provides service -- e.g, does it use
MAC-address authentication? Does it provide static
or dynamic addressing? Does it use DHCP? These are
only examples.
