NTL "broadband" connection

[Sam Pikesley]

Nope, we did it all using a linux laptop... you have
to do a bit of tcpdump-ing, have a look at what's
going on with arp requests and stuff, eventually you
will pick out the address of their
mac-address-authentication webserver, and bob's yer
uncle. Of course this means that I've never agreed to
their T&C's, either...
