I'm using it just fine.  They gave us a Motorla Surfboard modem, which has 
a USB and 10/100 ethernet port.  Plug into the ethernet port, DHCP, bam, 
you're up and running.  However, I understand they have used different 
configurations in different service areas.  If you want to connect a 
different MAC address to get the 'public' RR IP address, you need to reset 
the modem by unplugging it for a minute.
