I used to have a Scientific Atlanta cable modem (don't remember the exact model), it worked perfectly with my Linux system. Cable modems with Ethernet connections don't need any special support or configuration in Linux, what you need to do is configure your Ethernet card and your Internet connection will work. Use the "system-config-network" command. -- Markku Kolkka markku.kolkka@xxxxxx
