The only "gotcha" we currently hit our (my) head against in this type
of setup is the fact that the Globetrotter software RSI uses for their
license manager, requires an ethernet card. On a laptop, this means
that you must either always have your ethernet PC card installed, or
get a new "genver" number from RSI every six months. Having the PC card
installed does drain the batteries faster. Things can get further
confused if you want to keep your ethernet card in, but set up a PPP
connection from a remote site (this means that you suddenly have two
network connections and you have to watch your step).

Of course, I prefer this setup to having to use a dongle. :)
