Lonnie,
I just ran <lsmod> and that is what I got.  I'll try <lspci -v> to see
what I get.  When I went to the help button the KDE instructions said to
add  a line to the inetd.conf file.  When, in the past, I installed a
COL distribution, the installation process "found" or detected my modem and that's
when I set it up.  Not so with the 3.1.1.  It did do my printer,though.

OK, I've got a few minutes, again.

How are you attempting to 'find' the modem?
In the installation since COL 1.3 the installation detected the modem. In 3.1.1, the install goes right by finding or detecting the modem. I
do the 'Setup' for ksaferppp and under the modem I choose ttyS1 'cause
that's where the modem is and click on the button to 'find modem' and
shortly the little window or button comes 'Can't find modem'.
Is anything found on any serial ports in dmesg output?  Perhaps its ttyS0?

As for why all the modules are there, they just showed up in the
installation??
Well, yea, i know that. I was asking why you allowed them to continue to be loaded, unless you were actually using/needing all of them? Somehow i doubt you're doing anything with Novell IPX stuff.

If it might make any difference I only installed the 3.1.1 disk and the
3.1.1a disk.  We left the kids' house before I burned the applications
disk.  Would that make a difference?
I dunno, maybe.

[root@hemus root]# lspci -v
[SNIP]
Nothing useful there. Did you say this was a PCI modem? Cause if so, it ain't detected at all on the PCI bus. Which means either the modem is dead, or you need to do some BIOS tweaking somewhere.

You really should audit this, and remove everything that your'e not using. You've sucking down a ton of memory on all these modules, unless of course you're using all of them.

In the eD2.4 I'm using the first 2 lines of lsmod are;
Module Size Used by
ppp 21452 2 (autoclean)
slhc 4472 1 (autoclean) [ppp] Should these be in the 3.1.1?
2.4.x kernels need to have the following loaded to do PPP dialup:
ppp_deflate            38976   0 (unused)
ppp_generic            15724   0 [bsd_comp ppp_deflate]
slhc                    4384   0 [ppp_generic]
