How stupid of me to assume that ... :P
Actually the setup is very simple if u have used linux. The modem connects to your box nic with a straight cable. It has a default ip of 192.168.1.1. You fire up your browser and connect to this ip. You can change the ip to something else, configure static ips, dhcp, some basic firewalling etc. U can also telnet into the modem. U can reflash the modem with the latest kernel, busybox and anything alse that u want flash size permitting.
Yeah, I have used Linux and continue to do so happily :P Thats why I am on this mailing list :). I know the procedure. But actually doing it is very different than reading about it ;). BTW I heard these modems had a lot of heat problems and would stop working (or reboot) after a while... is that true??
