I agree that most of this book's content is probably not worth the time because using it will get you slapped down, but the sections on accessing the SNMP functions of the modem would certainly make it worthwhile.
When I had cable, I would have loved the ability to use the SNMP functions for several reason, the least of which to let me know when my connection crapped out and I wasn't around to notice. Such information would certainly let me know how reliable my provider is versus what they claim to be. And of course, getting data on the traffic hitting my modem but not my router would be cool. -- Ann Coulter doesn't know jack about science...
