That's what I said. When I said server, I was actually thinking along the lines of running, say, a print server from a cable modem the same way I currently run a print server off of a hacked wifi modem. Not something connected to the internet, since you're better off getting a private host for a web server. As for playing with the transceiver, I just thought it'd be neat to play around with building your own cable network, see how it works; if you live in a university dorm or something you could maybe build your own wide-area-network. Maybe you could adapt the transceiver for other uses too, set up an antenna and send/receive high-frequency RF waves, et cetera.Actually connecting a hacked cable modem to an ISP-owned cable line would almost certainly be a violation of your contract, a pretty pointless risk to take. If your internet is too slow, pay the extra ten bucks a month and get a faster connection, jeez.
