trouble connecting to @home cable modem

[Don Harrop]

I've been thinking of getting a Cisco cable modem.  It's supposed to have
the Cisco IOS on it and it functions just like a real router.  Any
suggestions on whether this will be a good device with Cox's service?  I'm
sure I could set it up DHCP but I'm not sure about the hostname and how
that would work..
