Heh. As evil as I wish Time Warner was, they continue to surprise me. When I called and asked for cable modem service earlier this month, they asked what operating system I used. I said Linux, and the guy on the line asked if I wanted to do a self-install. They just couriered the parts to me (cable modem, ethernet cable, some coax cables and a splitter) and I had it up and running in 10 minutes. Of course, as far as I can tell, you can't see their Terms of Service agreements until you have service installed, but maybe it's just buried on the website somewhere. -- _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ ___ _ _ __ Don't count your Electoral / \/ \(_)| ' // ._\ / - \(_)/ ./| ' /(__ Votes before they're cast. \_||_/|_||_|_\\___/ \_-_/|_|\__\|_|_\ __) [ Mike Hicks | http://umn.edu/~hick0088/ | mailto:hick0088 at tc.umn.edu ] -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
