Subject: mini-HOWTO and autoinstaller for SURFboard 1000 cable modem

The below has also been submitted to FreshMeat, but I thought I'd send
it to you, too, just in case it slips through the cracks.

A mini-HOWTO for installing and configuring the General Instrument
SURFboard 1000 phone-return cable modem under Linux is now available.
The SB1000 is a Plug 'n Play ISA card that, along with your standard
phone modem, connects your PC to your cable TV provider's network service.
Consult your local cable TV service to find out whether they provide cable
modems or not.

Also available is an autoinstallation disk image in .zip and .tar.gz
formats for downloading and unpacking onto a floppy.  Installing
the SB1000 driver software for Linux is as easy as running the
sb1kinst.sh BASH script provided and answering a few easy questions.
The database file supplied is for Adelphia PowerLink customers only,
but can be easily rewritten for customers of other providers.

All this information is available at:
