3348 on a 200 - does this mean not possible to change MAC?

[Miles]

Connected a 200 modem with hyperterminal, and I end up with this:

Enter '1', '2', or 'p' within 2 seconds or take default...
. .

Performing CRC on Image 2...
Decompressed Image 2...
Target Address: 0xA0010000
Decompressing... \
Executing Image 2...



3348

...and there is just sticks, no scrolling text like I expected to see from reading other posts, key presses do not appear in the HyperTerminal window. Does this mean that this modem has been updated by ntl, and that I cannot change it's MAC address?

3348 is the number of the Broadcom DocSis chip on the modem. When you look at the internal diagnostics page is there an ntl: logo

Well I'm not bad at soldering, but I just took a look at that chip and those joints are bloody small! I'd need to buy a smaller soldering iron...

You mean http://192.168.100.1? Yes there is an ntl: logo at the very top of the page.
