kernel-2.4.18-3 is not what redhat shipped with, it's an upgrade. Look on the redhat site for the matching headers rpm.

I got the info you said damn its long, hope this helps. I got this back with lspci -v

Then this:
ls -l /usr/src/ gave the following

Yes, you need to have the kernel headers that match the running kernel version in order to compile third party kernel modules. One way around not being able to find the correct redhat rpm is to compile your own kernel from source.

ok, one more time. This time i ran kppp from the comand line and got this feed back ( should have done it before).
opener: received SetSecret
opener: received Openlock
opener: received OpenDevice
opener: received RemoveSecret
opener: received RemoveSecret
opener: received OpenResolv
opener: received OpenResolv
opener: received KillPPPDaemon
opener: received RemoveLock
I still cant find my modem in the "quary modem" setting in kppp. Now it says that the modem is "ready" and then "insulzing" (spelld wrong sorry) and then "script time out".
i did the rpm -e --nodeps `rpm -qa |grep hcfpci`and it said that it removed the driver. then clicked on new rpm that you said and installed with no error. what now??
sleepwalker1.0 goes to gun-cabnet "now where is that ammo, I going to kill that kppp damon myself"
one more thing, I went to mandrake controll and used the wizard to re-config my connection. (thought you ought to know)
thanks for all your help. what now??

Alright,
I tried to install file suitable to for my setup, rpm with same kernel and arch(i686). went to dir /usr/sbin/something or other, ran hcfpciconfig.. or something or other(sorry early morning and hung over) it worked this time, configured modem, to what I thought was right.
I have rh 7.3, gnome 2.0(I think), and in network configuration wizard modem says it is "active". used network applet (I think) rh ppp dialer (or something like that) and dialled my isp, I noticed when I picked up phone at one stage that modem had connected(or was making that weird connection sound) but when opening mozilla or netscape and entering in www.google.com or any other url, it doesnt work???? I come from windoze background, and there is nothing that tells me that the modem has connected other than when I pick up phone and listen. this has been a very difficult situation to connect to net. why is that? other than me having a win modem? is linux usually this much hard work?

SUCCESS!!!! After long and hard thinking i put it to simple logic. I unpluged my modem and then started linux. Harddrake uninstalled the modem i had and then set up linux. I shut down and pluged my modem back up. then i restarted linux again. This time i let harddrake re-install it and BAMM. My modem now dials the isp with no problem. Thanks newpenguin, and everyone els who has visited this post. Keep trying tedster, you will get it. Look at the simple things, they pay off faster. good luck.
