OK. I just deleted the things and rebooted. It works now, the modem anyway. For those who was following my thread about not being able to send email. I can open Mozilla just fine on the new install. I can NOT send a email except to those on my local ISP. Ain't that some crap. All this for nothing. I'm hitting up a new thread again I guess. Look for it shortly after this post.
