Hooking up my box to the web

[Rick Rosinski]

I just received a cable modem & ethernet card from family out in Richmond, 
Indiana who's service went bankrupt (sound familiar?).  So, he sent me his 
modem and I want to hook it up.  Who's the best (is excite or cox the only 
choice?)  Also, since I would have a fast, permenant connection, I want to 
host my web site on my own box.  I have it working as http://localhost.  How 
would I go about hooking it up?  Where can I find information about doing 
this in Linux?

Thanks alot in advance.
