GPL...cable modems...any catch?

better than 0kb/s. Sadly installer arrived 6 hours late and wasn't able
to complete the external work up the pole (as by then it was 9pm and
heavy rain) so when he did that the next day I wasn't in so we couldn't
confirm connection worked .... which it didn't. After a brief
conversation with tech support (they confirmed that they couldn't "see"
the modem from their end) they scheduled an engineer visit at the first
opportunity ... which was FIVE weeks later (after complaining I was even
told I'd been elevated to the "must fix asap" list but no earlier date
has been forthcoming) - so hopefully by the end of this week something
may have been sorted out. Perhaps then I can see if it helps with GPL
:-)

Sorry, this is off GPL-topic but, as you may gather, I'm a little less

taking 5 weeks to sort out an outage is reasonable)! At least I managed
to convince them to give me an extra months credit so that my free trial
month of their "no risk deal(tm)" covers a month when I can actually use
the servive to determine if its worth keeping.

You guys don't know how lucky you are. The best I can do here in the

Is that correct that you can't host a race? I seem to recall that

That does it. I've got Rogers Wave now and I'm going ADSL as some as
it's in the neighborhood.

just got a Road Runner and we can race with each other rather well. I
have had some discos, but only after I installed my voodoo2 adapter to
compliment my TNT2.
