It shouldn't be a problem, Tony.  As long as you know what brand of NIC
Time Warner is going to install in your PC for the cable modem (usually
3Com Etherlink II or III NICs) it's a simple matter of making the proper
changes in your setup to support the card as you would for any
workstation tying into a network using TCP/IP (NIC driver, IP addressing,
netmasking, etc.).  Check in the OS2LAN conference.  There are several
there who have already done this and can give you insight on how to do
yours.
