Re: Connecting a linspire box to comcast

Matt is correct - this worked for someone here at work
this week.  Even though I don't have broadband at
home, I won't use Comcast.  I can't get DSL, and I
will refuse to sign up with "the only game in town".  

Now, if I understand correctly, I'm going to go from a
single option to none.  If Comcast does anything that
makes it harder to hook up a Linux system to their
service, it's no longer something I'd even consider. 
Not Linux friendly - not for me!

Bummer, guess I'd better brew another pot of coffee
and continue practicing my patience with my dial up
connection.

The only "dumb question" is the one you were too afraid to ask.
