Not true. I used the anaconda/gui install for RedHat 7.2, and it
correctly detected and set up the DHCP connection. I never had to
adjust a thing. Literally the only Comcast thing I did was set up SMTP
to be stmp.comcast.net, since I do not use them for POP. Everything
else worked properly "out of the box".
Also, I've used Comcast for quite a few years now (3, 4, can't
remember) since they first went into the broadband business (ours was
one of the first neighborhoods connected) and I can count on my fingers
the number of times we have been without service. I don't know how
much of this has to do with the fact that the only ISP feature I use is
STMP. BTW, the cost is $40 for cable tv subscribers and $50 for those
of us using rabbit ears.
