Just got NTL broadband installed here - Configured a second NIC for DCHP, plugged in the modem and could ping the world straight away. Couldn't access any web pages, so resorted to phoning Tech support. Tip - Tell 'em you've got a Mac running Darwin OS and a damaged CD. After a bit of an argument with the 'erb at the other end, found out I needed to do an online registration. The IP address to do this is 62.253.162.131 - Now with full access at 600K and no IE5.x used.
Regards, Paul.

Its superb but theres a few hitches Linux wise..
- You can only register using a windows box and
IE5/5.5 and no firewall running! Once up and running turn off the modem for an hour or two and then you can DHCP on using Linux
