[olug] myth + COX firewire HD

[Dan Linder]

When I last tried about 18 months ago, it was a non starter.  My port
my be bad, but when The cox tech that came out he didn't have a way to
test or confirm if it was even activated.

If you find a simple tool to talk with the box, i'll try on my box for
a second test.
