  I was running Windows when I had my Rogers modem
installed.  The software they included was optional,
it was mainly for trouble-shooting problems with your
connection.  I had no problems when I switched over to
Linux and didn't have to configure the modem, just
selected DHCP for my network.

  Couldn't say, haven't tried.  Last I checked Rogers
used a number of different models, and your area
determined which one you received. (This is what the
technician told me when he set it up.  The orignal
modem he brought wouldn't work because it was for a
different area.)

  I believe so but I am far from an expert.
