Telstra cable

[Nic Scott]

Hello,

I have just had a door to door salesman from Telstra come over and put 
the hard sell on, and I am very tempted to get a broadband cable connection

hehe, halfway thru composing this message I did some reading thru the 
clug archive, found most of my answers ;) these old posts mention chch 
getting DOCSIS cable modems in the future... do we have them yet?

However I am curious to know other list members (that have Telstra 
cable)  find the cable modem under linux... what kind of setup is needed 
(DHCP?) any pitfalls etc.

sorry if this sounds like Telstra helpdesk question, but I would like to 
know if this will work with linux before I make any commitments.

Cheers Nic.
