[Hidden-tech] Home Internet hookup

[Jeremy Dunn]

If anyone wants an old cable modem I have one to give away, for the price of 
mailing it to you.
I bought it in late 2000.  Sadly I no longer live in a town with cable 
service....

3Com HomeConnect "Shark Tooth" model 3CR29221, in original box, with CD, 
etc.
