[NTLUG:Discuss] Cable Modem Questions

[Charles Jacobus]

I am running the Charter at home off a hub to a WIN95 & a WIN98 machine. They
sent a Tech out gratis with a new modem to fix my problem.The tech also
changed the numbers (are they IP numbers) on both machines. Don't know if
they will perform this service gratis on a Linix system, but I'd ask them.
