Yes Russel, that is exactly what I was told by the service man. When I
asked him how they would implement this, He was talking about a cable
that will be installed with a box inside the house. He called it Cable
Modem. When I asked him if it had anything to do with Cable TV we got
sidetracked in our conversation. Not being an expert on modems etc. I
didn't know specivicly what to ask him.
But I would not be surprised if it would be possible to have a modem
with the cable TV or mybe only the modem part and no TV. What it will
cost to have the cable brought into the house, is another question.

There you are, I'm still holding my breath

Regards Bill.
