Well, I believe it depends on your cable company. I have a cable modem and I
run Linux. My situation is a little diffrerent though because I have a static
IP (For free) and we aren't required to use DHCP. I have heard of cable
companies that require a special authentication program to be run before you
get access (I saw a message in another newsgroup - comp.os.linux.something -
where the user was asking if anyone knew a way around this).  DHCP wouldn't be
a problem though (But from this it doesn't sound like DHCP specifically because
win95 does DHCP stuff automatically).
