Although I have not used the Shiva Ethergate specifically, I have used their
remote dial-in access software with the Shiva NetModem 2400.  From that
experience, I would highly recommend that you don't bother trying to get it
to work.  The dial-in access is PAINFULLY slow.  I timed a file transfer at
approximately 1k per minute.  Don't get me wrong -- I am quite happy with the
performance of the modem itself, and I intend to get a NetModem 9600 shortly,
but I would not consider using the remote dial-in software for any task that
had to be completed.
