Just a general question :D

I don't know about anyone sending you files from sbh. It's sort of frowned upon. Anyways, got a friend maybe 10 miles away on same ISP, if so bring your modem to there house and run snmpcfg admin, if you got on as easily as you said, i'm betting the public string should yeild results for you and may just get you your 50meg config.

Also, dont be so fast to walk away from Vultureware, just because you don't have the cmts mic, is not the end. Maybe the tech who configured the cmts wasnt the brightest button in the box. There are other ways.
