Hi Traci,
Thanks for the info. I guess I'll just wait for some hacker to write
some drivers. Our local cable company is installing cable modem
service,but so far I haven't talked them into bringing the cable to my
home,they say it's too far. Maybe with both cable tv and cable modem
service the financial incentive may be better.
Thanks,
Dan
