I am the OP. I just want to make it clear that my MODEM supports DOCSIS
2.0, and that COMCAST support agreed that they support my MDDEM. However,
instead of removing the block on the http port, they just tell me to wait
three days for something that never happens and try again.

The OS shouldn't make any difference, but COMCAST demands that we run
a windows program to install (unneeded) COMCAST drivers for our MODEM.
Something doesn't add up here.

I set up a windows machine special so the installers who came out
could use windows. They were unable to make either MODEM work, but
told me I had to call in after midnight. After that things worked
right for a day or so until I asked to change my MODEM. Then they
cut off service and blocked my email account.
