[CALUG] modems for Linux

[petror at netstorm.net]

Hello
How do I source drivers for faster (i.e. cable type)
modems geared toward Linux? I've already found out the
hard way that my 2006 Mandriva build cannot do anything
with my 2002 Sony Vaio's Lucent softmodem... an NDIS issue
stemming from Windows/Intel hegemony.  Does the cable company
for say Verizon or Comcast supply the driver? My stepdaughter
has a cable connection for Comcast. Please comment.
Thanks
Peter
