| Re: Approved Comcast Modems Modem List
There has always been internal modems, just none that comcast wanted to use.
they may be a nightmare to work with though.
imagine, right now if lightnign hits yer cable line, it'll just blow out your modem.
imagine if the modem is in your pc! |

|  Phone modems get fried on a regular basis since people forget to run the line thru a surge protector. Besides the modem, I haven't seen any major damage done to a PC unless it was a surge directly from the mains into the power supply. As for configuring, it can't be any harder then setting up a PCI NIC. Then again if you don't have Windows you could have a problem. If the company isn't willing to release documentation for the hardware, you might be waiting a long time for a driver. |

You mean you don't have a surge suppressor on your cable line??? You should. |

| I have found NONE that don't introduce any sort of noice ingress or signal loss. My modem already has one H of a time staying connected. All I need is another few dB of loss. What kind of miracle suppressor (brand, model) do you use?
