Lonnie and all,
As instructed, I upgraded to AstLinux 1.0.1 Runnix 0.4.X, rebooted, and then
typed "modprobe e100". Unfortunately, a subsequent check of /var/log/messages
and dmesg revealed no flicker of life of eth0.
This time, I was able to get the PBX up and running with 0.7.10 and Runnix
0.3.X, with no fuss whatsoever, using the Web Interface.
I've also ordered a new NIC card - and will report our findings upon receipt.
Thanks,
Dan

Dan,
If you wouldn't mind trying the e100 driver, the results would be useful to the
project.
