I'll go further and say no mention of the OS at all. @home started taping my phonecall actually when I called them to complain about latency etc. on the net. Some of the providers of cable have switched to USB only modems to exclude anyone that runs anything else. It's all ridiculous as 'support' for configuration of linux/BSD etc. would be simpler than memorizing all the myriad Win settings in the end. The CA branch of @home seems to view an altOS user as a threat of some sort so it seems. Tres bizarre. "Jonathan E.
