I have a 505 FX with Xircom (XEM56 10/100),
running slink, on linux-2.2.12, 
with ppp-2.3.5-2, wvdial-1.20, xisp-2.5p4-1

All of the scripts "pon", "wvdial, and "xisp" work!
It wasn't obvious, though, for various reasons.

* I had to explicitly limit the speed to 57600 Baud ...
* wvdial needs PPPD=True
* another one (about some line not being 8-bitf clean) had
  to do with the moment when pppd was invoked.

At least, there was no need for potato, here. ;-)
