Yup, been running it for years.

Did you run cfgmaker against the modem?

/usr/bin/cfgmaker --global 'WorkDir: /var/mrtg' --global 'Options[_]:
bits,growright' --ifref=ip --output /etc/mrtg.cfg
community_name at ipaddr_of_cisco

You may need to edit the resulting mrtg.cfg but cfgmaker will give you
a good start.

Make sure you have the Cisco configured to allow SNMP only from your
inside network and set the community name to something other than
"public" for better security.
