Well, now that I think of it, they were still RCN at the time, later bought by Suscom, then Comcast. The Comcast reps might not know as much about it. Will probably go with DSL our next apartment/house (wherever we end up). But I'd expect Comcats to work no problem (just put the router in the appropriate place). Which reminds me that I still have to test my wireless router to see if it still works OK. _______________________________________________ Mid-Hudson Valley Linux Users Group http://mhvlug.org http://mhvlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mhvlug Upcoming Meetings (6pm - 8pm) MHVLS Auditorium Jun 4 - Sqeak! and eToys Jul 2 - KVM (Tenative) Aug 6 - Zenos Sep 3 - TBD
