Hi Jason, according to what I'm reading, there is only (1 internal)
PCI modem, (a Smartlink 5634PCV) that this disto supports. I connect
to the internet via a modem. See this link, at the bottom of the
page:
http://ipcop.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/twiki/view/IPCop/IPCopHCLv01

That leaves me looking for an ISA modem, but I don't have an ISA slot
in either of my Mobos.
