- Excellent Cable and DSL ISP List?
- Posted by Robb on January 14th, 2004
Hi Linux guys
(1)I want to know know where I can get the excellent Cable and DSL ISP List in my area( San Jose, California)
(2)I know SBC DSL and COMCAST Cable are available here(for area code 408). Besides these two, what are the other ISPs
(3)COMCAST Cable Modem uses TV Cable, what do other Cable modems( other Cable ISPs provide ) use
Can I use 2 different Cable modems from 2 different Cable ISPs at home at the same time
(4)I have 2 machines. One uses COMCAST Cable modem to connect to the Internet, I want to use other Cable modem or DSl to get a different IP
Thank you so much in advance!
Rob

It's not clear what your objective is, what is it that you are looking to
accomplish?. You can share your connection with multiple machines either
by using one of your boxes as a gateway for the others or by using a
hardware router (which is what I would recommend). If you have a static IP
you can access all of your systems from the outside through secure shell.
There are two ways of doing this, you can use one system as the SSH
gateway and then connect to the other machines through the gateway
machine, or you can use your router to map different ports to different
machines, i.e. use port 22 for one system and the 2200, 2201, ... for
additional machines (secure shell's default port is 22 but you can
configure it to use any port you want).

Although I don't have a good answer to this question, I will give a
strong recommendation for my ISP, Sonic.net. They have been very
solid, have great tech support, and offer nice extras with basic level
accounts (e.g., up to 4 static IPs and access to two premium news
services (supernews and newscene) in addition to their own news
server).
