Re: [TCLUG:9416] MediaOne Roadrunner and Linux

Actually, that's what I'm doing right now (I moved at the beginning of the
month.  Apartment is <2 miles from the Rice/Shoreview CO.  Guess what CO
they have me hanging off? Front St, 4+ miles away.  With supposedly no
copper to my building from the Rice CO. So no more DSL for me).  I've got
an old Cyrix 150 box with 2 EtherExpress Pro/100s running dhclient under
Debian 2.1, using 2.2.12 and IPChains for the masquerading.  Works great.
Just make sure you have a Windows machine with the card your're going to
run the cable modem into - they require windows or a mac for the install
and then they record the hardware address of the Ethernet card so if you
change the card you have to call them (at least from what the installer
told me).
