Cox cable modems are available in some areas of Glendale now. I am near 43rd
ave & Bell and I can get it.
This just happened 2 weeks ago.

They have always (previously a sSpeedchoice) only officially supported
Windows or Mac. They do however, not object to Linux or other OS's, but
will not help in configuration or troubleshooting in any other OS's.
I believe they (Speedchoice or Sprint) still supply one fixed IP address
for each account, the cable modem is assigned a gateway address, and two
DNS server addresses for the client subnet. I had no problem getting it to
work on a Linux box, although getting IP-Masq to work properly required
some assistance from several PLUG members.
