I have Cable access at home (telenet), I got it working on my own, my provider 'allows' Linux, but there is NO support, not anything, they even refuse to put in a network-card if you're not running Windows... or plug in the modem if you've gotten the card working yourself. If you call with a problem, even if it's on their side (like a server being down), and you mention that you're running Linux, they simply refuse your call!
Heh. That's not just Belgium. Good old MediaOne/Road Runner in the US does the same thing. I actually had the Windows NT network menus memorized for a while, just to get around this problem. I highly recommend making printscreens of the various Windows network dialogs, and keeping them around so that you can successfully lie your arse off to your cable company when there's a problem. :) -tara
