AOL/TW is big enough to naturally assume they're, .. definately. Technically though, it's now AT&T broadband -- since then I noticed the terms-of-service changed and now disclaims any support for non MS/Mac setups .. but doesn't disallow it either, a good thing. Auto configured? Cool. I've been on since the 1-way days, wasn't quite that easy :) My tip for new RR installs: If you kick the support tech out after they hand over the modem, be sure they've got your MAC address of the NIC you plan to connect to it.
