[NTLUG:Discuss] AT&T@Home redux

[Steve Egbert]

Only a couple of AT&T Excite TCI Cox (whatever) @Home cable modem comes to
my mind:

1.  Motorola Cyber Wavesurfer (no traffic shaping, you want to keep this)
2.  3Com HomeConnect(tm) Cable Modem External 3CR29220
3.  3Com CMX

I got a snail mail from AT&T at Home about the advent of enforcing DHCP.  Said
if I am a non-Windoze/Mac user to email them for details.  That was 2 weeks
ago, no details so far.
