No it had ot do with outside lines . It is not difficult to install a cable connection inside on a pc. It was a total waste of manhours from a business point tho outsourcing reduces cost due to no employee benefits. I feel in this house the whole procedure was not cost effective. The laying of cable in my opinion cannot be considered temporary as the upkeep will be constant.

>A cable ready PC will greatly reduce the billable hours needed >to install the @Home service. That depends on def. of "cable ready PC" - if that includes all necessary software both installed and config'ed, then your statement is true. My Mac already had built-in Ethernet, which TCI@Home used. Hooking up the cable modem is trivial, plug in the cables and plug it into the power outlet. Vast majority of time was spent by SW guy doing SW install/config, and cable guy ensuring good signal and installing filters. Having built-in ethernet and a built-in cable modem will do little to reduce this time.
