FWIW Comcast@Home gave me the information I needed to install w/out my having to run Windows. @Home Unix customers are wise to report themselves as Mac users -- Mac's DHCP apparently doesn't work well w/ @Home, so if they ever need to change your settings, they supposedly inform Mac folks ahead of time. (@Home's policy is basically that the IP won't change unless they have to renumber your entire node, so it is "static" for 99% of the people). But there's a list for Unix@Home folks if anyone is interested in more of that... TjL, who had a cable modem for a year, then moved to a new place where they don't exist yet :-(((((( To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
