Re: using cable modem with Debian?
I fail to understand why diald is needed at all. These are cable
modems, right? The cable modems we're using are Zeniths ... 4Mbps
upstream/downstream. Does your friends modem require use of the phone
lines for any reason? If not, seems to me a 'shutdown -r now' command
is gonna bring the link down as it reboots.
Am I missing something here, or are you? :)

is rolling out cable access and I get to play too :)
