-e is to show errors, and -d is the device.

When you say "no luck here" do you mean you tried this? WHen you tried
it, did eth0 actually work as your 192.168.0.1 adaptor, and eth1 did
not "initialize" properly, or what happened? This information is
important for troubleshooting.

Hmm... well, your computer is initializing the connection outbound for
the dhcp connection, so your firewall should allow it -- that's
assuming that you do have a firewall in place and running... what
firewalling package are you using, and where did you get the rules? Is
the firewall STARTED?

...and assumedly the modem gives you another ip -- or you get another
one from the upstream dhcpd. Is there a hardware reset on the modem,
if it's somehow "registered" your Win98 box's MAC address or
somethign?

Those should both be 100 base T cards, so that shouldn't be an issue.

This is actually the "old school" way of quoting email -- almost all
older email clients do quoting like this automatically for you. I use
mutt and vim on GNU/Linux, but most older email clients (such as pine
or elm) do quoting like this. 

You can also configure most GUI clients to quote replied messages like
this -- I know that both evolution and Outlook support this kind of
quoting for plain text messages.
