Whoever told you that linux is a dualboot system and therefore can't "triple boot", doesn't know what he's saying... lilo can boot a lot of operating systems...

Regarding your modem, check when you connect (if, for example you use kppp) if the "Disconnect if not connecter in 60 seconds" check box is checked. You should uncheck it.

Check your dial up setting in Redhat and verify that you dont have it set to automatically disconnect....
