telneting into your cable modem?
Nate,
Until now, I have not seen any cable modem that has telnet feature. Plus according to the cable modem technology, this box does not need to be configured, at least by the user. Cable modem is a very "dumb" IP router, it only route IP packets and nothing else.
The cable modem Road Runner users use has a a serial port but it only for service personel and I could not find (or care to) any protocol to communicate with it.
Cheers,

Yeah from what I have heard you can,
you need to find the right cord to plug in to your modem, then use your Analog modem, Goto your HpyerTerminal, Dialup to your cable modem, Then from there you can Change your Upstream, Downstream, Ip Address.
Im in the process of doing it, if I can find the right cord, And I "think" this only works with com21 modems
