Cable modems aren't modems, so you can't compare dial-up modems to what 
the cableco puts in the middle between your coax and your ethernet.

And yet, that's exactly what you tried to do when you wrote:

To repeat:  cable modems aren't modems, so take anything you know about 
dialup modems and throw it away when talking about what we colloquially 
call cable modems.

Do a little research on what cable "modems" actually are, then come back 
and tell us you understand that your question didn't apply since there's 
exactly zero relationship between a dialup modem and a cable modem.
