Thank you for all the help, but I don't want to waste your time any
more. I resist coincidences, but I just tried to boot with a network
install diskette for RH and it looks like my network card is bad. So
looks like it was a coincidence that it went bad at same time I wanted
to add support for my modem.
Thanks again...
