If it's labelled as ugen0, it's not recognized as either a modem or ethernet internface, and you're not going to be able to use it. The best solution is to go back to Charter Communications and beat on them until you get a box that connects via ethernet instead of USB. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
