When Rogers Cable here was originally talking about running a cable modem 
test in this area, I asked if I could connect the cable modem to a 10Base-T 
hub as I didn't feel like adding a second NIC to a computer that is already 
linked to a partially loaded hub.  I had hoped to be able to access the cable 
modem from multiple computers.  The response was that it to hook directly 
into a NIC and I could not access it over the network.
