Last time I tried putting a cable splitter into the line to my cable modem it didn't work. After that time the cable modem stopped working anyway and the cable company had install a booster to get it working again so maybe a splitter would work now. Easiest way would be to just stick a splitter in there and see I guess!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"My father-in-law is heading back to school in the spring and wants a laptop for Christmas. The only catch is their budget is around $400 and he does not want a netbook. He's not very "tech savvy" at all and doesn't need a hoss of a machine (not that $400 could get you one). We would like to get it for him as soon as possible and would love some input."
