Because that have to put a filter up on the pole. It's not just plug and
play. If it were then you could simply get a cable modem from Circuit City
plug it in and provision the account over the phone.
So I plan to let them set up a Win95 box with the card that I plan to use
then switch it over to my Linux router once they leave. Since my router
is currently masquerading and also serving as a wireless gateway for a
pair of Webgear Aviator cards that I bought, transitioning to Linux is
an absolute requirement.
