If so where can i buy the hardware from to do this ? i think i can get a rs232 cable from maplins but dont think my lappy has a port for this.

Also once i have done it whether i use a laptop or pc is it possibe to change the mac address of a modem, by possibly making it up if i live in ex c&w area ? much help would be interested on how to start off, already got all the software i need now im strugglin for the hardware as my main machine i use is a lappy.......thanks

how much in total to successfully clone a modem ?

no, if its not got a serial port, best to do it on the big pc which has. once done however, you can configure with just an ethernet

I use a serial/usb adapter on my laptop and works fine.

yep as long as its normal windows (although i think it can also be done via linux) and you have usb to rs323 adapter
