On the page I looked at (http://www.twcol.com, under the Road Runner
thing), it mentioned under system requirements I'd need a 68040 or higher,
disk drive, and it'd only work with Mac OS. Is this true? Or what?

What kinda software would a cable modem use, on this end? Are those
requirements only for the software they give me (e.g. netscape) or do they
actually have to give me a special program just to connect?

I'm pretty sure it wouldn't use normal ppp software. Does it? This is the
main question I'm asking here. Do I have the software necessary to utilize
a cble modem in the NetBSD 1.3 package?

Thanks :)
