Find a Win98 boot disk and copy Windoze fdisk program onto it. Boot
machine using Windoze 98 boot disk, then at the command line do:

fdisk /mbr

All fixed Windoze working again!

Can you *INSTALL* the newer CentOS 4.2 or RHAS 4.x? You may be caught
between your applications being too old to run on the kernel and tools
needed for your hot new CPU/motherboard.

What crutch are you trying to use to connect? Most of the so-called
helper programs try to emulate windoze by hiding as much technical
information as possible. That's great when they work, but when they
don't, you're up the creek without a paddle.
 

That _infers_ that the helper may know where the modem is
 

Then the so-called helper is not helping. Start by finding out exactly
where the modem is - what _kind_ of modem it is, and can you cause the
modem to dial using a program like minicom. Next, read the manual for
the modem, and find out what the manufacturer recommends as an init
string. Most of the so-called helper programs try to use some commands
that the author saw on a horror movie at 3 AM after consuming a lot of
intoxicating beverages, and often these have no resemblance to anything
found in any modem manual.

Aug 29 06:23:27 Serial driver version 5.05c (2001-07-08) with MANY_PORTS
SHARE_IRQ SERIAL_PCI ISAPNP enabled
Aug 29 06:23:27 ttyS0 at 0x03f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
Aug 29 06:23:27 ttyS1 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
Aug 29 06:23:27 ttyS3 at 0x0e800 (irq = 11) is a 16550A

That's part of the boot messages (dmesg) - and here the kernel's serial
driver found the two on-board serial ports, and then the PCI modem that
is using non-standard I/O and IRQ. A dialin script such as this

[compton ~]$ cat /usr/local/bin/dialin
#!/bin/bash
exec /usr/sbin/pppd connect "/usr/sbin/chat -f /etc/ppp/dialscript" \
defaultroute lock noipdefault modem nodetach /dev/ttyS3ttyS3 115200 crtscts \
user sbarringer
[compton ~]$

(There must not be anything after the \ in those two lines)

[compton ~]$ cat /etc/ppp/dialscript
ABORT BUSY ABORT 'NO CARRIER' "" AT&F1 OK ATDT2662902 CONNECT \d\c
[compton ~]$

is all that is needed. Make the obvious corrections you may need, and
see that /etc/ppp/pap-secrets has your username and password in the form

sbarringer * p42Sw0rD~

and that /etc/resolv.conf has an appropriate nameserver declaration.

How do I specify which user has mount access?

The first line is a bit screwy too, now that I look again. Try "Do you
