[clue] What DSL modem(s) do people use?

[Quentin Hartman]

I don't use RH or the like, so I never looked for an RPM. As I recall
though, it doesn't need any special drivers. It appears as a realtek
ethernet port on the machine, and you configure it with an appropriate IP,
and then telnet into the card itself via that IP to do config.
