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 ;)
