The plug in the back is a dual plug for modem or ethernet. If you got all the pieces with the 3400 you would also get a splitter plug that allows you to use both modem and ethernet at once. When I take my 3400 to work with me I use the ethernet to connect it to the network. When at home I use the modem plug. I'm going to get cable or DSL at home soon though so the modem will not be used after that.
Yes, you could get a PCMCIA ethernet card and if you wanted to do 100mbps you would have to but otherwise you might as well use the built in ethernet. ....................................................................
