[P1] DSL modem woes in Kuwait

[PaulKurtz III]

I agree.  Unless recently changed, my cable modem provider doesn't support
Macs at all.  However, I have been using mine for 2-3yrs.  In order to do
so, I had to lie and say I have a PC, just to get them to set me up.  If you
are connecting via Ethernet, there shouldn't be any problem.
