Using a Mediaone cable modem right now under NetBSD-1.3/mac68k.  Works great.
As someone else mentioned, they will insist on MacOs 7.5.3 or more, 24 Meg
RAM or more, ? disk space and I belive 33 MHz or more clock speed.  I had to
beg and plead to get them to set me up with my MacIIci.  For what its worth,
the network performance is _much_ faster under NetBSD than under MacOs 7.5.3
on this machine (> 10x speed improvemnet for FTP).  If you go ahead with getting
one, I can send you setup instructions after they get it going under MacOs.
