I'm have read about FreeBSD and love every word about it, and I am also
looking forward to recieving the CD.  However, my concern is that my
connection to the Internet id through a Cable Modem, and although
capable of high speeds is not always supported by all systems. I am no
networking expert but I know it works just like a constant connection to
a LAN and that my ISP is COX Cable and that there server uses a
Firewall(proxy server). Any information would be of great help because
niether my ISP or my System Administrator will help.
