The cable company provides the modems (really routers) that will be used with
their cable. From the FAQ I saw about Time Warner's Road Runner Service,
their software requires Win 3.1, Windows 95, Windows 98, Win NT, or Macs.
There is not a thing for OS/2. They are going after the majority of the
market. You MIGHT be able to run the Win 3.1x version, depending on Win32S.
I think USR has waited to long to make cable modems. Time Warner has a large
percentage of the systems. Time Warner is using Mortrolla Cable Modems. The
NIC card REQUIRED is probally by 3COM.
