I have cable internet and I use a modem and the modem turns the conection into a rj-45, is there a cleaner alternative to conecting cable internet directly to the rear of my PC like conecting the cable to a insertable PNP card, in stead of through a modem THAT USES A RJ-45?

Cable internet uses HFC (Hybrid Fiber Coax) and uses a modem to extract the protocols...
This needs to be converted to a protocol a PC "speaks"...
The only 2 choices I am aware of at the current time are either:
1) USB, or
2) Ethernet (RJ45)
How your PC implements these are up to your PC... They have them on motherboard, ISA/PCI cards, or PCMCIA cards...
But all involve converting from one protocol to the other!
