>>- uploading is still done through your regular modem - does this make scence ?<< It depends upon your cable company. To upload through your cable modem requires your cable company to make expensive modifications to their system. Many haven't made those upgrades yet and some won't. Hence whether you can upload through a cable modem depends upon which cable company you are connected to. Side issue I understand one of justifications for the AT&T and TCI merger was to gain access to funding to help pay for TCI's upgrade.

Here is the site for sygate sygate.com Looks easy enough ! In my area I can get cable access for $35 a month but the way that I understand it that is only for download - uploading is still done through your regular modem - does this make scence ? Possible but would definetly suck. Tim and All. Had a long post the while back on my cooling troubles with the Inwin case. I do have 9 expansion devices and 2 CPU's though. Definetly needed upgrading out of the BOX. FYI... 400 mhz CPU's seem to run much cooler than 300 MHz cpu's. My friends gateway 400 has a passive heatsink and is cool as could be. My 300Mhz are little furnaces... Sean
