Hi gang:

One of our side projects is to research how to set up a FreeBSD box on
Cox's cable system with a Motorola CATV modem and use DHCP to get the
address from Cox's dhcp server. 

Has anyone on this list done anything like it? I'd like to find out if
wide-dhcp will work out of the box for this application or might require
some retuning.

Thanks for your comments. It will help greatly in judging how time
intensive this project will be.

Best Regards,

Bernie Doehner
