Not good to mess with hardware, hence the hardware/physical address. IE. Michael Jackson changed his physical/hardware atributes and it doesn't appear that it helped him at all ( just an opinion )

And as Hob stated, it definately would not help your surfing ability.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8709986 Sat, 06 Dec 2003 20:08:27 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,8709861 hobgoblin : "SMAC program let you change mutiliple mac addresses of hardware on your computer"

Changing the Mac address of your modem is not a good thing to do!

As the Mac address allows your modem access to the network through provisioning changing it would instantly disconnect you.

Furthermore I do not consider an external cable modem "hardware on your computer"

Edit: Having read up a bit on this program it spoofs the Mac address of devices in your machines OS. As the Modem Mac never shows in your OS as it is an external device I conclude its impossible.
