    This tells me any equipment that is classified as acceptable by these requirements is immediately suspect, and should not be permitted to connect to, or communicate with, equipment you need to trust.

        I’m well versed in the CALEA capabilities of DOCSIS equipment, hence my comment.

          How do you have internet without a DOCSIS modem? Is this a problem of where I live that the only option requires it? Or do you just have a strong firewall between it and the rest of your network (assumably on the router)?
