It turned out to be easier than I expected. You register the Mac number
of the cable modem (label on back of box) over the phone, and a few days
later it starts working.

Hardware - it plugs into an Ethernet card. I use Hydra cards (one for
the network, one for the cable).

MiamiDx - you set up a new Interface and use DHCP for everything.
