Re: [K12OSN] USB cable-modem



Hi Terrell,

Nope ! this is a real modem to computer interface, ie alternate to RJ45 connection. The main difference is that using the USB 2.0 connection data transfers at 458mb instead of 100mb on RJ45.

Hi,

Has anyone setup a K12ltsp server using a Scientific-Atlanta (Webstar) cable-modem with a USB port for external communications & internet along with a standard 10/100 NIC for the local LAN ?

thanks

Hmmm...though I don't know about specific brands, all the cable modems I've ever seen were designed for Ethernet RJ-45 usage.  Are there any hints in the docs about what the USB interface is for (out-of-band management, or whatever)?  For example, APC UPS's are known to use USB and RS-232 serial interfaces for cleanly shutting down your PC after a certain time w/o power.
