@HOME also supplies a PCI version, a PCMCIA card or a 10/100 USB card. I
have no information on these card, yet :-) A static IP is given, or you
may connect with a DHCP client. I am using the static address
and experienced no problem. The whole setup took less than 1 hr including
basic IP_MASQ/firewalling.

Pricing: one-off installation : BF 10000 (+-$ 250) + BF 3000 ($75)
deposit for the cable modem (+$25 for Ethernet NIC if not present in pc)
monthly rental : BF 1500 ($40)
Pricing: Installation is 8000,- BFr (~200US$), warranty of 2000,- BFr for the
cablemodem (50$). They ask 50$ for a NIC if you don't have any, which is
of course a ripoff, as you get them almost for free if you buy a hamburger
these days. Monthly fee still is 1500,- BFr (37,5$)

Optional: Telenet Internet + : here, you can install a HUB (which they'll
sell you for 50$ if you don't have any). This way you can hook up up to 4

PC per month extra.

Caveats: Telenet states that you can download 300Mbytes/month,
but this rule is not enforced unless there is a obvious abuse
(i.e. you download 300Mbytes/*day* ;-) ). This limit is applied on their
network boundary, not on what you transmit on the internal network,
so it does not take into account what you download of the mirrors.

Till 2 weeks ago, the limits were only for external traffic. As they have
mirrors of all kinds of things (tucows, freebsd, freethemes,
allmacintosh, suse,...), and a proxy, the 2 GB per
week they had before, counted only for external traffic, was OK. Now
EVERYTHING is counted, including DHCP-traffic (30' leases), ARP, IGMP
(they are experimenting with it so every 2' you get some traffic from
them...)

For Optus @Home here in Australia (Competitor to Telstra Bigpond) -
Originally they used to be running some sort of really weird DHCP server,
so a mate of mine hacked a DHCP client and got it running, but recently
they've fixed their problems and ordinary dhcpcd will run fine off the
shelf. The trick is that Optus use your "Client ID" for authentication.
Your client id is also your hostname, and if you're already running
windows, your computer name. If your computer name is CO3012345-A then
that's your hostname, and therefore your client id.
</para>
<para>
You feed dhcpcd this information and everything should run perfectly
<command>dhcpcd -H CO3012345-A eth1</command>.
</para>
<para>
A word of warning though, Optus are very strict on running servers on
their network, so before you connect linux up to Optus @Home, firewall
your computer or disable running daemons.

<title>Destiny Cable, Philippines</title>

Information provided by Juan Paolo L. Carballo <email>jplcarballo@mydestiny.net</email>:
</para>
<para>
It used to be just for our capital Manila, but has lately
expanded to the province of Cebu as well. There are only three of us
Destiny Cable subscribers in our local LUG and so far, no one yet in the province.
Destiny Cable is not the first to offer cable internet services but
is the cheapest, considering that they give a free cable TV feed in addition
to unlimited Internet access. Unlike other cable internet providers, they have Linux
as an OS option to choose when you fill up their application form.
</para>
<para>
There have two subscription options:
</para>
<para>
<programlisting>
1. Residential
Modem: Motorola Cybersurfer Wave
NIC: Any
Connection: Dynamic IP
* Free cable tv feed upon subscription.
* Free first 200 feet of cable from service point to your PC.
* Option to rent, lease-to-own or buy the cable modem.
* Minimum of one year subscription contract.
</programlisting>
<programlisting>
2. Corporate
Modem: No information but definitely not Motorola Cybersurfer
NIC: Any
Connection: Static IP
</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
Destiny requires you to buy and install your own NIC/Lan card
*before* they will setup your service line.
In my case, I bought a Linksys etherfast 10/100 LNE100TX ver. 2.0 PnP
card and installed it in my Mandrake 7.1 (helium) box using the
tulip.c driver, version 0.91g. The NIC was recognized
as: Lite-On PNIC-II rev 37 at 0x6200, IRQ 10. When the linemen arrive,
they will bring with them only the cable modem, aside from the cable line to your pc.
The coaxial cable plugs into the modem from the data splitter on the
main line, which it shares with the cable TV.
A 10BaseT Ethernet cable with RJ-45 jacks is included with the cable
modem. One end plugs into the cable modem and the other end into the
ethernet card. Finally, there are six LEDS, one each for POWER, CABLE, PC, TEST, RD
and TD. Once the power cycle has been completed, the POWER, CABLE and PC
LEDS should be on and not blinking. The TEST LED may light up for a few
seconds but this should pass. When a connection is stable, the TEST LED is
OFF and the RD "Receive" LED will blink every once in a while. The TD
"Transmit" LED will of course light up when you send data.

</para>
<para>Currently i'm configuring a gateway system at home, needed to set the
MAC address and use the '-h hostname' workaround. So I decided to
*not* change the script but to use the configure file.
In my /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 I have added the following
</para>
<programlisting>
DEVICE="eth0"
MACADDR="00:11:22:33:44:55"
DHCP_HOSTNAME="trigger_for_terayon"
</programlisting>
<para>
Which will survive upgrades, and is imho a "cleaner" way.
</para>
<para>
That is it. Reboot your machine or type <command>/sbin/ifup eth0</command> on the command line.
