I need to source a cable modem to use with custom firmware etc... What is the best one to buy at the moment and what else do I need to go with it to get it working, blackcat or jtag etc.

TIA for the help

the ambit 250 is a cracking wee modem

only takes a matter of minutes to flash and get up and running

you'll be very lucky to pick up one that inst bricked but to sort that just look for the console unlocker and then flash a new bootloader using softjtag

the hardware you will need is a max232 from the likes of TMC

so

Hardware: max232, ambit250

Software: console unlocker, softjtag, ambit 250 ultimate pack, 250 configurator or ambit config tool

hope this helps
