Well, after reinstalling Redhat 5.0 a few times, I finally figured out the
problem.  I think my menuconfig is botched and I think (THINK) the
directions in the Redhat manual messed me up.  After using the directions in
the howto first (not the manual), I finally got a good kernel compile.  I
now here the sound after sndconfig, and I can make my modem dial in xwindows
and in minicom.  I am still having probs getting my ppp script stuff to work
and I haven't been able to get my xwindows control panel to set up my system
to connect to my ISP, but that will come over time.  At any rate, I thank
everyone for the help, and I am sorry I resorted to trolling to get
attention (hey, I was a little bitter), but it worked, so i am not too
sorry.  And now, on to my next project, posting to a newsgroup inside Linux.
I will let you all know when I accomplish that.

Later,
JJ
