My ISP is "Rogers@home" in Canada, but I can't see there being much
difference.

I am using a Terayon cable modem with my 1200 via an ethernet card on a
Mediator board.

Once all the things were plugged into each other, I just had to run
MiamiInit. This managed to some of the network information. What it
couldn't find, it would ask for a manual input. ie "DNS numbers" and
"Default host name"

It took less than 5 minutes for Miami to be correctly configured this way

You could be Canadian if...
You don't care about the fuss with Cuba, it's a cheap place to travel to
with good cigars and no Americans.
