I'm having troubles with setting up my machine to use dialup networking
under Xwindows.  I have redhat 5.2, in a dual-boot config with windows 95.

Anyway, firstly, I don't know if Linux can see my modem.  It's an internal
PCI Swannsmart modem (Plug & Prey).  It works under Windows.  The only place
where I have found a 'connect' button is under the linuxconf program.  But
when I press it, I hear the hard drive working, but nothing happens
onscreen, and the modem does not access the phone line.

I am new to Linux, so any help would be appreciated.
