How to use an A2000 with a cable modem?
« on: September 05, 2003, 01:43:15 AM »
Well, after suffering, and I do mean real suffering with a slow dialup modem, (on a good day I connect at 28800) because of our ancient phone lines up here in the boonies, we're having cable internet service put in.  Comes complete with a cable modem for the Pee Cee, but what can I do about my beloved A2000?  Can I use it too with cable internet service, or am I stuck with slow dialup service?  Any help at all from the community would be wonderful.  Best regards....Art :-?

Wow, thanks for the fast reply Jeffimix, this x-surf is a zorro card?  Don't really know too much about ethernet either.  Could you explain more?  Thanks much! :-)

I thank all of you for your help on this problem.  Lot's of great suggestions.  Maybe I can request an ethernet modem from the provider instead of usb.  I'll post a thread letting you know how it works out. Thanks again....Art :-)

@Tor

Sorry about being a little short on info, just was not thinking.  Looking on their website is a good idea to find out about what they use, didn't think of that either, thanks for the tip.  My Amiga is an A2000 with '060/50 Blizzard with 128 meg ram, CGX card version 4, OS3.9, and using Miami demo version.  I'll check that websit right now.  Thanks again for getting back to me.  Best regards...Art

@BOOtDisk

Cool!  I didn't even know those things existed for the A2000, any suggestions on where to find one?  That would really open up a whole new world.  Thanks for the tip.  Best regards...Art
