Re: [PLUG] OT: Comcast problems

[Jesse Huestis <jhuestis@comcast.net>]

Hi:

I had problems after the change with my firewall, (RH 7.2 using a firewall
script from RH.)  I found out that it was related to my modem from Comcast.
 I used to have a Com21 modema nd now have changed it for a RCA modem which
has worked better and is faster.  Not sure why.

On the DSL vs Cable, I got a one month free and am paying 44.95 including
the $5 a month modem charge.
