Thanks to everbody that replied to my first question.  Now, just a few
more questions about RR. 

First, will dhcp also set values like DNS and gateway/default route?
I set the eth0 interface to use dhcp, and it ifconfigs itself up with
an IP that looks like roadrunner, but no traffic actually goes out.  A
route command shows that I have and eth0 and lo, but no default
route.

Second, they brought out an ethernet card (installation was free so I
took it), and I'm wondering if anybody else has used this model
before.  The box says it is a Focus Networks EtherLan PCI.  It has
both a T and 2 connectors and it's a 10Mb/sec card.  Has anyone gotten
it to work, or should I just put in a card that I know will do the job?

Also, regarding my last message, a few people were confused by my
parenthetical wondering whether or not I was an AOL customer now.  For
those who may have missed the news (or more likely missed the
implications of the news), AOL will soon be (assuming SEC acceptance
of the deal) merged with/buying up TimeWarner, so in a roundabout way,
all RR users will soon be AOL customers.

Thanks again for any help.
