Yeah, Jenn, I'm quasi-certain it's the BIOS, but I already tried resetting to original configuration and that didn't help. The big mistake, really, was not taking note of the original configuration BEFORE I installed the hard drive. What I don't get though, is the fact that Seyon sees and uses the modem - but *no other piece of software can*, either in Win98 or Linux. I'm completely puzzled.
