More thoughts today (16th)
The problem shows on the system that SHOULD be pristine! (Fresh
install) Not on the one that is an 'update' and transfer from a MDD.
Have tried an external USB modem, It isn't seen as usable either.
[Thats why I went to the trouble to have the two example OS Systems on
adjacent partitions on the internal(to the (G5) HD. That's what is so
weird about it, Exactly (same physical pieces) the same hardware, Only
a 'Reboot' to the other software and the problem shows up.

There probably should be an error message from Migration Assistant
saying that the network settings didn't transfer correctly. I
believe it would be titled "Transfer Warnings and Errors.rtf".
Probably on Desktop or Documents.
You need to open System Preferences>Network and see if the internal
modem is shown. If it's not shown, it should automatically recognize
the modem when you open System Preferences, and if it doesn't,
you've got a problem with one of the hardware extensions not
loading. I can tell you how to troubleshoot this if this is the
problem. If you have the internal modem shown as a network port,
you'll need to reconfigure it to the correct settings (same settings
as the working system), and it should work.

Hi Kris:
Only message found.
Can't check the SP>Network at this time (I'm booted with the working
OS to get Om-Line) but my memory says that the modem just doesn't show
up ---- going through 'setup' and 'diagnostic help', the modem just
shows as 'failed'.
[When we get this solved, then there is another little 'gotcha' with
the 'screen saver'.]
