Hello everyone,

I am having three problems getting Linux going.  If anyone could help,
I would be very grateful.

1) I have a Viper 550 card.  One good IT Samaritan suggested that I
download Xfree86 3.3.3.1, advice which I took.  Since I can't get my
video card to work, however, I can't open Netscape and downloaded it
into Linux directly.  So, I downloaded Xfree86 3.3.3.1 via Windows
onto my DOS partition.  But, obviously, it doesn't do me any good on
the DOS partition.  So, I'm wondering if there is any way I can
transfer the .rpm file from DOS to Linux via Linux.  Does anyone know?

2) How can I configure my modem?  Because my video card isn't
configured properly, I can't use X Windows to do it.  Is there any
other method of doing so?  

3) Once I configure my modem, can I download XFree86 via Linux without
using X Windows?

Thanks in advance,
Paul
