  I have done some web-digging on the net for cable modem
providers/projects. Here are some URLs:

http://www.cablewave.net/index4.htm

  This one looks good, they say they support UNIX too, and no bandwidth
limit, at 10 Mbit/sec, $40-60 over the cable subscription, about where
Actvnet is now, but Actvnet is not that fast.

  A news release.

  Down under too.

  A cable modem with specs. Looks good to me.

  And the usual expected reaction of L95 to the new technology...

http://cabledatacomnews.com/cmic1.htm

  An excellent primer on the technology.

  At Georgia Tech they study the matter...

Key word hits counts from altavista for this search:

Word count: modem: 2543934; cable: 2977491; access: 15228170;
  
hope that this gets you past ISDN and frame relay, and interested in
something really good and new, as I am ;)

PS: If you happen to be seriously interested in getting into this, look
