What utilities are available to configure these pieces of hardware? The networking utlity system-config-network is for ethernet card and not for dial-up modem. Isn't there any way to configure my modem? And my TV Tuner Card?

Hi the best idea for getting help is to tell us what you have for the actual hardware in your machine. For a TV card use
dmesg at a console/console window and you should see similar to this in the output where the card gets detected.
Code:
bttv0: Bt878 (rev 17) at 0000:00:09.0, irq: 20, latency: 64, mmio: 0xfdffc000
bttv0: detected: Leadtek WinFast TV 2000 [card=34], PCI subsystem ID is 107d:6606
bttv0: using: Leadtek WinFast 2000/ WinFast 2000 XP [card=34,insmod option]
bttv0: gpio: en=00000000, out=00000000 in=00bf7707 [init]
bttv0: using tuner=2
bttv0: i2c: checking for MSP34xx @ 0x80... not found
bttv0: i2c: checking for TDA9875 @ 0xb0... not found
bttv0: i2c: checking for TDA7432 @ 0x8a... not found
bttv0: i2c: checking for TDA9887 @ 0x86... not found
tuner 0-0061: chip found @ 0xc2 (bt878 #0 [sw])
tuner 0-0061: type set to 2 (Philips NTSC (FI1236,FM1236 and compatibles))
bttv0: registered device video0
bttv0: registered device vbi0
bttv0: registered device radio0
bttv0: PLL: 28636363 => 35468950 .. ok
input: bttv IR (card=34) as /class/input/input2
bttv-input: bttv IR (card=34) detected at pci-0000:00:09.0/ir0
Now the module used can be different from the bttv shown here for my card as different cards have different chipsets on them. An easy way to quickly see if has a signal is to install xawtv or tvtime and try to tune some channels. An idea that usually works for me is going to
Google Linux and putting in the make/model of the cards along with your operating system that you are using then checking out the hits to see what others have done.
