<title>SwissOnLine HiSpeed Internet, Switzerland</title>
<para>
This information is provided by Nick Barnes <email>nick@debau.ch</email>:
</para>
<para>
This assumes that you have registered (either on-line or via snail
mail) with SwissOnLine and you have received your cable modem, have
plugged it in and ensured that it boots correctly as per the
installation instructions.
</para>
<para>
At the time of speaking, SwissOnLine HiSpeed provide COM-21 modems
(http://www.com21.com) complete with two different kinds of Antanae
leads and an antenna splitter.
</para>
<para>
You will require a standard 10BaseT ethernet cable to plug the modem
into either a network card installed in a PC or the uplink port of a
10BaseT hub. To plug the modem into a normal hub port, you will
require a crossover cable.
</para>
<para>
All information is provided to the host via DHCP, with no special
parameters needed in the call. The modem is not locked down by MAC
address.
</para>
<para>
Providing it is not rebooted, the modem appears to grant the same IP
address to the host. While this is not guaranteed with anything other
than the static IP address option on the business account, I have not
seen my address change in the time I have had the modem.
</para>
<para>
Be wary of any device on your local ethernet which makes DHCP
requests. The modem is not fussy which devices it allocates addresses
to and it appears to offer the same IP address to _any_ machine which
makes a DHCP request.
</para>
<para>
SwissOnLine do not support Linux directly, but they are aware of its
existance!
