The following reference may be helpful: http://www.vee90.net/vblite/showthre...?threadid=1247 Unless you are using an older version of RedHat, you are not likely to find direct support for the modem in RedHat. However, the modem can be used in Mandrake 8.0 and in Mandrake 8.2 (with a kernel modification noted here: http://www.angelfire.com/linux/sm56/).

The video card problem is another matter. Perhaps if you posted the model and chipset, we might be able to find a Linux distribution that supports the card.

Hope this helps.
