RH 6.0 / Modem Problem

[pfarrar at learningco.com]

     I'm using Slackware, and get a similar set of `modprobe can't 
     locate`'s.  only mine are: pf-4, pf-5 and pf-3; in that order.
     
     I don't think too much about it, because everything seems to be 
     working OK.  They show up at boot time and in my /var/log/messages at 
     seemingly random intervals.
     
     Any connection, I wonder?

Correct me if i'm wrong anyone, But think that you can get rid of this problem 
by adding these three lines to your /etc/modules.conf file
     
alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp
alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate 
alias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflate 
     
Hope this helps,
-Brad

"Serial connection established" I get the following:

connected to the ISP but when I start up Netscape and try to download an 
external webpage, it reports that the page is not accessible.  This is an Askey 
Modem which the dealership thinks is safe for Linux.
