[ale] mediaOne modem

[Jason Lynn]

Sage,

I also live in Duluth and I just got MediaOne (now ATT, but I still have a 
mediaone.net email addie) cable modem just last week.  I absolutely LOVE 
it... that may be because I have been using 56k dialup for so long though...

The guy came to install it (I provided the NIC card), it took about an hour. 
  As soon as he left, I rebooted into my Linux partition and set eth0 to 
DHCP, restarted the network, and everything worked perfect.  I have since 
yanked that NIC out and made a gateway / firewall box that took SOME 
tweaking, but is seemingly working fine now.  Well, fine enough to get 
hacked by some guy in an internet cafe in Moldova last night (thankfully he 
wasn't good at covering his tracks!).  Seems I need to learn to patch up my 
Distribution a little better!

If you have any questions, feel free to email me...

Jason
