Is the external modem a serial port modem?

1. Launch nautilus and look for the "start here" and go to the internet connection wizzard.
2. Open an x terminal and command: redhat-config-network

I used rp3, the gnome applet you can put on the panel. After I placed it on the panel, I right clicked and chose to configure the network. That launched the tool redhat-config-network, I added the modem in the hardware tab, and added my phone no, username and password in the window brought up by adding the connection to the Devices tab.
