Cable Modem NOTES:
There are 3 versions of firmware available for the SharFin/HomeConnect Cable modem. Each version is at a minimum or alot different from the other.thanks 3Com!!!

3COm HomeConnect/SharkFin;
Also what I find sorta funny is this Cable Modem as far as what 3Com says and every other reliable source is that this Cable Modem was discontinued a long time ago. OK then why do we constantly keep seeing this Cable Modem pop up all over the place, I still here of the Modem being sold in some cases and even sometimes being issued by some I.S.P.'s. OK how many of these Modems did they make right before they DISCONTINUED them....wow I say alot.
