You might also try a wood saw, or hacksaw, or even a 2lb hammer ?
BTW, this *is* a problem with all versions of Linux.  What I did in
the end was phone BT (since I can't get cable) and ask for ISDN2e.
That works fine with SuSE software.  I now use Home Highway and I'm
waiting for Surftime after sending some stuff to BT and Zetnet at
www.zetnet.co.uk

Was it NTL that can offer a cable service.  Or was it that they just
don't do ISDN at all ?


Thanks
