My cable modem is a Toshiba 1100 (I think) which comes with the service. Unless you want to run a server I don't see the point of uncapping your modem in the first place, speed here is 45KB/Sec UP and 350KB/sec down (actual speed not Max rated). You might save a few dollars in buying your own modem (if your provider even allows you using your own modem), but I am sure the cable company will start playing games with you when the system isn't running correctly. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
