eth0 will be a Digital 21040 (Thomas Conrad TC5048) 10baseT PCI PNP NIC
This is to get IP from the ADSL adapter and shove it through via IP
Masquerade to eth1, a cheap generic NE2000 compatible PCI PNP 10-100 NIC
to the other two machines on the network. both using 10-100 NICs. How do
I set up the dual NICs? Also how do I set up the Red Hat linux client
to grab IP from the server?

For instructions on getting linux to see both nics you should look at the
Ethernet How-To. Basically it involves putting a couple of lines in your
/etc/conf.modules file so that Linux knows to look for both Nics. The How
TO has some specifics configuration notes for many Nics, so I would
reccomend looking at it.

For example, I have 2 Etherexpress 16 nics in my firewall at home. To set
them up I added this to my /etc/conf.modules:

alias eth0 eexpress
alias eth1 eexpress
options eth0 -o eexpress-1 io=0x270 irq=3
options eth1 -o eexpress-2 io=0x300 irq=5

In my case I needed to put the -o eexpress-1 and -2 so that the eexpress
modules would load 2x under seperate names. Since you have 2 different
Nics, you shouldn't have to have that option.

2 NICs 1 machine. Totally lost.
