Amazingly enough, I was able to get my modem to work. With a combination of pnpdump, isapnp, and setserial, I was able to connect to my att service. Then I figured out that I hadn't setup ppp for my modem, so I couldn't browse the web or anything. I ran linuxconf, and setup all my dns stuff and the like, but when I was setting up ppp (my secondary network device; I'm on a LAN) I realized that my modem wasn't listed on the Kernel list like my NIC (rtl8139). I think if it was there it would have been usr3090 or something, I can't remember the number but its not hard to find. This also brought up another problem. When saving changes (without ppp setup) it had to do something with lilo. At the time, I was running a boot disk to start linux (RH7). I'd like to run lilo from the mbr, but I can't figure out how to set lilo to use lba32 (I think that should work) when installing linux. Also, because I setup my modem manually (pnp didn't get it automatically) is there something I should do, put it in some script file, so it'll setup every time I start linux?

I know this was a rather involved question, but thanx for the help.

Putting lilo to mbr is simple enough

cd /usr/doc/lilo-version
./QuickInstall
Put it in mbr

Add the following
lba32
to starting line of lilo.conf

set up isapnp-conf
man isapnp

Thats all.
