Dear folks,
This seems to be how the ones in my neck of the woods work.
The 'cable modem' is an interface between a standard (though
cheap, if you use the one the company will provide) 10Base-T NIC,
and the cable company's cables.
No special software needed on the CPU, other than standard NIC
drivers and OS networking support.
Don't have one myself, but three of the collegues in my office do,
and we've discussed them quite a bit. (IT office, BTW)
