I went thru something like this when I hooked up with Charter. I simply told the tech that I was willing to sign to the effect that I took all responsibility for getting the Ambit modem working with my setup. He called his supervisor and that was good enough for them. > I have perused various HOWTOs without seeing exactly what kind of > information is needed. IP addresses of course.

Hmm, once they "provisioned" my cable modem, all it took was a simple (as root): ifdown eth0 then ifup eth0 and it acquired everything that was needed. I'm assuming that "service network restart" would do the same thing. Keep us informed as to how it goes! :-) PS This link may help some: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Cable-Modem/ -- /\ Dark><Lord \/
