Hm. A deru.com user who wants Cox instead? Oh well, if you don't mind
only being able to use Cox's outgoing SMTP server on port 25, and you
don't mind not being able to run sshd on your home box, it might work
for you. (Unless you get their "business class" service or whatever,
which is a bit pricy.)

I currently have a D-Link cablemodem that's pretty basic but has worked
fine. No 802.11, no routing--2 NICs in one desktop, iptables, little
5-port switch = wired gateway for up to 4 machines. I won't be using
it when I get down to the Phoenix area on Jul. 28 since Cox's policies
won't work for what I want to do with my Net drop. I could sell it for
cheap to a LUG member. Fine Manual and all original cables included,
natch.
