Gentle Helpers, I have really screwed up, again.  First, I installed a Suse
9.0 on hda5&6.  Boot on 5 and root on 6, swap on 2.  I left 1 and 3 blank
when I installed Suse 9.0 on 5, boot, 6.  I put a hdb on with Win98 on it to
do my blood glucose meter program.  Every thing was going well until I
installed RH 9.0 on 1 & 3 and grub on the MBR.  Now I can't get my Windoze
to load or my Suse.  Can't even get my Suse to load using the CDROM..  What
do I need to do to get back into my Suse?

#2.  On my RH, something went haywire with my modem.  I've tried to get kppp
"Settings" -> "Query Modem" to fix it, but I keep getting either, "The modem
is busy" on ttyS1, S2.  On /dev/ttyS0 I get "The modem does not Respond",
and on /dev/modem I get "Unable to open modem".  Seems like a couple of
years ago I had this problem with one of the  Caldera, 1.3, 2.2, 2.3 or e2.4
and I don't remember what I had to do?

Much appreciation for your expertise and help. Maybe the young fella a
couple months ago was correct when he said "When he got old ...."

Bob
