Joseph,

Try using just 610015 for the model number.  I gave it a quick try and
got quite a few hits.  This one might help (not sure, I haven't really
studied it, but then I don't have the problem to solve <G>)

And perhaps this link off of it:
http://members.verizon.net/~res08lyg/6100.htm

It gives a step by step walk-through. It uses a windows client, but
I'm sure that you can convert the windows ip stack settings to linux
equivalents.

As I said, I've just snooped around a bit and found this. I'm just
handing you a rope. I take no responsibility for what you do with it
or what effects doing so might have.
