[Cialug] Next Level Communications Modem (Resent with right subject, sorry!)

I have been googling about the Next Level Communications modem model  
e2012. A friend of mine is wondering whether its port is rated as  
10BaseT, 100BaseT, or 1000BaseT. All I can find tells me 10BaseT, but  
I thought maybe one of you have run across the specs for this before?

Thanks,

Stuart
