ethernet card connected to modem, up came my home page :-)

    Subject: [Sderby] Hello to All from new member Chris with ntl Cable =
Modem prob


    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
