I am not sure but I do not think so. FWIW you could try an snmpwalk on
it. A lot of modems have a diagnostic mode that is either accessed by
magic software from the customers Ethernet port and an ip addr of
something like 192.168.1.100 or just accessing that address alone sometimes
gets you a menu. IIRC some of them are passwd protected. It depends on the
manufacturer. Please keep in mind that it has been a couple of years since I
even looked at a cm and my memory is a little fuzzy on the exact details.
