sorry for the useless chat but I just want to say some cable
networks do know and are thinking about linux surport.

My cable network I use does not mind linux but does not surport it.
But they have installed a redhat 5.2 machine at their office. I had to
corect the tech guy about calling linux version 5.2 grrr. As for the
drone that came over he was a cleaner for 10 yrs and failed to
set up on my NT box. I asked him to leave and 20 mins later I had linux
running fine with the cheap d-link card.

But the adsl service in town will not show up if you have linux or Windows
NT. They only take 95 98 and they try to get you to rent software from
them. To make the adsl worse it is unstable and they have their network
set up wrong and it is slower then the cable.
