On my RedHat 7.3 I had peroblems I finnalyy removed all modems in network configuration. Then go to Internet Configuration Wizard while logged in to X and select add modem . It will scan your hardware and install the modem on the correct comport. That was my problem I kept putting it on the wrong port. After it detects it you type in your ISP name and Phone number with username and password and you should be good to go. I installed 7.3 Sunday AM by Sunday afternoon I was surfing the web Good Luck Ron

I recently purchased DAX modem. Along with it i got PCTEL Driver Ver-0.8.6. It installed very well until I used the command "insmod /lib/modules/2.4.2-2/misc/ptserial.o " to insert the driver module. The output of this command was long list of unresolved symbols. This problem was also uncurable by using "fixscript"available at RedHat site. Please help.
