They're going to be left with a lot of spare cables - look out for them
in the bargain bin in a couple of weeks !

I found the cable from a Pace modem worked OK, and apparently one
from a US Robotics will, too. The cables intended for phone - to - BT
connections might be wrong, but there are some inductors mounted on
the PCB near the phone connector that can be rearranged (with a 
soldering iron) to make the pinout suit your cables.

Using Amy's method, I got the password off this one : muf1312129.
This is confirmed on two other Time IBX101s bought from different
stores. Note that selecting 'Reset' on the ISP setup screen will
change the settings from Supanet to Bushinternet, so find out
what the Supanet settings are if you want to keep them.


I've done the 64MHz hack successfully on mine.
