The cable company is installing my cable modem on Wednesday.  Are there
any gotchas of which I should be wary when they come to do the installation
and the configuration?

I've got 4.0-STABLE, with two NICs, running ipfw, as a masquerading firewall.
I'm using ppp's NAT right now, but when they assign me an IP address, I'll
have to change that.  I can also disable the ppp startup and just assign
a static IP to the interface.  I'll also need to change /etc/resolv.conf
and the mail hosts.  Is there anything else I need to watch for?

Cheers,
Phil
