Hi Linux peeps - new member Chris here.  I've been running MD 8.2 since =
around April.  It's the first distribution that worked 'out of the box' =
for me, but (shock!, horror!) I've had to go back to Windoze due to this =
cable modem.  Inevitably, ntl supports Windoze, so it's made to run as =
part of the install.  When I switch to MadDuck, though, it recognises =
the modem as a usb modem, but requests drivers. That's great - there are =
none anywhere!!  Nothing on the mfrs website (it's an Ambit 351000, =
badged as an ntl:home 100), nor from ntl.  Prodigious websearches have =
produced nothing.  Dear ol' ntl have taken down my dial-up account , so =
I have no net access in MD :-(

Has anyone succeeded in getting this modem running in a Red Hat based =
distro?  If so, a few pointers would be really appreciated.  Thanks in =
anticipation

Chris
