[TriLUG] Geek riffing - Cable networking?

[Ryan Leathers]

Interesting... I have never noted anyone else asking for this sort of
thing, so I wonder how big a market there might actually be for this.
I saw some gear similar to what you are describing at a certain hardware
vendor last year.  I don't know if it ever became a commercial product.
I'm not sure if I had an applicable NDA on that occasion so I hesitate
to comment beyond the assurance that at least one vendor of cable
hardware has at least considered these products.

All this talk of cable modems has me thinking...

Does anyone know of consumer networking equipment that can be used over
coax?

I'm not interested in 10Base2 stuff, but rather stuff that can co-exist
with TV signals (i.e., an MPEG stream stuffed into an unused 6 MHz TV
channel). What I'd like to do is to network a set-top box using only
coax.

Is there any consumer-level DOCSIS gear? Anyone know of any other stuff
that does this?
