Using DPC/EPC2203 without bringing up EMTA?

Hello,

recently we've got a source of Scientific Atlanta DPC/EPC2203 modems. We run IOS version 12.3(23)BC3. As I see, there are no commands in this release configuring gatekeeper and such, I think the voip functionality is missing altogether. This normally would not be a problem, we don't intend to use voip for now, but we cannot configure EPC2203 modems, the cable-modem part awakes but lets no traffic through for the CPE. Can somebody please point us to the right direction?
Thanks in advance!

Hmm, ISC DHCPD does not get option-122 :( Or how can I add it?
Edit: Got it, I was a lamer, I saw after that, first one should add:

option option-122 code 122=string;

at the global options part of the configuration file. And of course, it works! We were able to bring up the modems without mta.
Thanks again, guys!
