The NIC section of the RealPort card is working fine...it talks at 100Mb
with the rest of my LAN and even surfs thru the ICS gateway just fine.
The Modem is a different story, as far as I could can tell it's setup
properly(but I'll be honest and say I have never had to setup a modem under
linux before, has been all network based....usually servers) but whenever I
try to dial out with kppp it says the modem is busy. I have not spent a
huge amount of time on it, since it gets out to the net thru the DSL line.
