i thnk yr kybrd is brkn sam. i suggest u rip yr capslock key off and utilise the 'shift' key instead 2 strategically place your capital leters where thay r needed most, such as at the beginning of sentences :)
Also, "kernel" is spelt with an 'e'. Sorry I'm in a pedantic mood, no harm intended :-) And I'm top posting. Gah. Someone shoot me ;-) About the modem though, could you please post details again for those of us who missed them the first time. Specifically, what kind of modem is it? Brand? Chipset? Do you have drivers installed for it yet? (and if so, do you know they are working? can you start something like 'minicom' and talk to the modem, for example?). If you just need an app to dial the 'net, I find 'kppp' is good on RedHat systems. Straightforward to enter your ISP details, password etc, and then dial away :) But that's assuming you already have the modem set up and ready to go, with an appropriate device in /dev (which I suspect you may not). Hope this helps. Good luck.
