Hello Craig!

Actually, I was hoping to get by without spending any more money
on the system. In fact, I'm el-broko.:( I was going to call you
yesterday but lost the number. :-\ With the networking installed,
the modem gets sync, but reports the network name instead of
adsl.216.XXX.XXX.XXX as WORKGROUP. I have no hub, this is just
2 ethernet cards and a crossover cable.

Regards,
Bennie
