(FWD)linux, cable modem, and RCN

[Jerry Feldman]

I use SuSE. There are several versions of dhclient. I believe that Red Had 
uses a dhcp client called Pump.
dhclient(8)                                           dhclient(8)


NAME
       dhclient - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Client

SYNOPSIS
       dhclient [ -p port ] [ -d ] [ if0 [ ...ifN ] ]
