Note that the vendor's requirements may also change over time. MediaOne changed some of their modems in some areas. Those who rented the modems from them had them swapped out at no charge. Those that bought had to re-purchase. Probably doesn't happen too often but it might.

I personally feel the ebay is a bad place to get deals. But that's just me. I just paid the price that Charter was asking since I would own it and be able to use it for quite a while after that. You also have to be careful that you don't get a model they don't support, or which won't work with their system... John

If you meant to send this to the original poster, you made a little mistake and sent it to the list. If you meant to send an attached MSWord file to the Ascii Linux list you made a big mistake. > From: "Aljerin L.

If you bought the modem it was $195.00. If you take the buy option you can spread the modem payment out over three months. I took the buy option it will pay for itself in a year.

Re: [Wlug] Cable Modem

I am using charter as well. With the promotion of a free month of service if I bought the modem from them I paid $135 for my surfboard modem...so far no problem. The only complaint is that occasionally the mail servers go down. This is a relatively infrequent occurance and is only a minor inconvienance. mike <snip> > As you noted, I didn't find many good hits searching for this on the > net, but they do show up on ebay.

Re: [Wlug] Cable Modem

I also bought the Motorola modem directly from Charter. It was $200 and they'll split it into 4 payments tacked on to your bill. I let the installer set it up on my W2K box and, after he left, swapped the cat5 to my Linux box. I set it up for NAT and everything worked fine. I've since bought a Linksys router so I can tear apart my Linux box without disrupting internet access for the rest of my network. There's never been any problem with Charter, though the speed is nowhere near 1.5 Mbps.

As you noted, I didn't find many good hits searching for this on the net, but they do show up on ebay.

I am now again looking to fill a UNIX admin position at UMASS Medical School (in Worcester). If you know anyone and or you are interested please email me your resume and I will forward it to the powers to be. Thanks And sorry for the spam :) Al
