One and all, sorry to trouble you, Friend of mine has gone and signed up for NTL's Freedom Bundle, which includes with it an average broadband service.

Now, given his location, the only way he can get the service is through his phoneline and NTL are saying that the only type of cable modem they can provide that way for his Mac OS X G3 iBook is a USB one.

Now that's a bummer as his previous NTL service had a proper cable modem with ethernet that linked into the back of his AIrport wireless internet box. There's no USB slot though.

Asked NTL for advice and they had none to offer, so the question is, has anyone here had any success in getting a USB set-up to hook up to a wirless set-up, mac or PC. Is there another piece of kit needing bought or something? All advice welcome...
