Is there even a driver for the modem? Does the modem have an ethernet port?

Sometimes just installing roaring penguin can be time consuming, but not necessarily difficult. PPPOE sucks.

im finding that out real quick. I got my dial up modem to work then it just quit working. it sees the modem but i need to install the network adapter, im having a heck of a time figuring it out. i got roaring installed but without the network drivers nothing works
