[Lincs] quick question

[Iain Baker]

NTL do not 'officially' support Linux... but that is purely because they dont 
want the expense of training etc. I could not get my cable modem to work with 
SUSE using the USB cable, however the Ethernet cable works fine...

The trick is to ignore NTL! basically set linux up to treat your inbuilt 
ethernet card (cheap ones that work available from www.ebuyer.co.uk) as your 
method of connecting to the internet... and basically... your on! The cable 
modem is then treated as a computer on the network! if you want any help ort 
further details let me know!
