[PLUG] attbi hardware

[Anthony Schlemmer]

As far as I know the RCA box is just the cable modem. It may or may not 
have a port filtering capability. I've had cable modem service for 
nearly 3 years and I don't know anything about my RCA modem. I've never 
been able to figure out how to connect to any sort of online 
configuration for it or anything.

It's a war zone on ATTBI's network with script kiddies and others 
probing around for open ports like crazy. I've only had Linux and 
OpenBSD systems connected to my cable modem and have always used a 
firewall.

I do squelch some of the firewall logging to ignore the many port 80 
probes as well as all of broadcast noise that goes along with a cable 
network. The broadcast noise is the worst with my firewall filtering 
out many 1000's of packets.
