Thanks John.  It works.  While using the nvidia driver is optimal, it
is currently not available to me as I still do not have network
access with linux.  Network/internet access works fine with Windows
XP so I know the hardware is ok.

I downloaded the nvidia driver package, but it did not have anything
for my specific kernel (2.4.18 I think).  Without internet access or
the kernel source for a source build it was not usable.

I'm still hacking away at the connection to my NB1300+4 adsl modem. 
I'm sure there's documentation out there somewhere.....
