Finally, I got something working.  I reinstalled Redhat 5.0 and it works
this time.  Although I did nothing differently, except use 'make config'
insted of 'make menuconfig'.  I recompiled with PPP support and sound
support (modular) and they work.  Although I can dial out with my modem, I
don't usually connect (I get the 'NO CARRIER' error with minicom).  But I
can figure this out.  It is only when things don't work like the How-Tos say
they should that I get frustrated and bitter.  Also, is it possible to get
ppa support without having to run insmod?  I have it selected to be in the
kernel (not modular), but I still have to run insmod before I can mount a
zip disk.  Also, how do I set up my system to read two cdroms. mnt/cdrom
will only allow one cdrom.  Can I mount it like this 'mount -t iso9660
/dev/hdc /cd1' and 'mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdd /cd2'?

Thanks for all of the help.  I apologize for the abusive nature of my last
posts.

Thanks,
JJ
