The cable modem shouldn't care what type of computer that you hook it too. More than likely, you'll just need to make sure that your IRIX system is using DHCP to get its IP. Are you having problems? Either way, it might not be a bad idea to use some other router/firewall in front. Linksys, DLINK, Netgear and others have inexpensive Cable/DSL routers that will have a 4 port hub/firewall as well.
Cheers,
Keith

NAME
Device::Modem::UsRobotics - USR modems extensions to control self-mode
SYNOPSIS
use Device::Modem::UsRobotics;
my $modem = new Device::Modem::UsRobotics( port => '/dev/ttyS1' );
$modem->connect( baudrate => 9600 );
my %info = $modem->messages_info();
print "There are $info{unreleased_voice_msg} unread voice messages on $info{stored_voice_msg} total
";
print "There are $info{unreleased_fax_msg} unread fax messages on $info{stored_fax_msg} total
";
# Get details about message n. X
my %msg = $modem->message_info(1);
index type information attributes status day hour minute
callerid page addresshigh addresslow checksum
print 'This is a ', ($msg{type} == 2 ? 'voice' : 'fax'), 'message', "
";
print 'It came from no. ', $msg{callerid}, "
";
# ...
# Now clear all messages
$modem->clear_memory();
WARNING
This module is not documented yet, and it is a rough work in progress. Until now, it correctly reads voice/fax messages information, but
when saving voice messages to disk, sometimes they are incorrectly decoded.
So, if you need a working program, check out the good old TkUsr by Ludovic Drolez, unless you want to help develop
Device::Modem::UsRobotics.
DOCS TO BE COMPLETED FROM NOW.....
Yes, I'm a bad boy :-)
DESCRIPTION
Bla Bla Bla...
METHODS
clear_memory()
Used to permanently clear the memory space of the modem. There are separate memory spaces, one for voice/fax messages and one for user set-
tings. Examples:
$modem->clear_memory('user'); # or $modem->clear_memory(1)
$modem->clear_memory('messages'); # or $modem->clear_memory(2)
To clear both, you can use:
$modem->clear_memory('all'); # or $modem->clear_memory(0);
Parameters:
$memtype
String or integer that selects the type of memory to be cleared, where 0 is for "all", 1 is for "user" memory, 2 is for "messages" mem-
ory.
