Mostly your Modem won't work since Redhat doesn't provide drivers for locally
made Modems. D-Link modem will work well. Also why you are using very old
RedHat Linux 9.1? You must use Fedora , Ubuntu or Mandriva , Suse Linux distros.
See if the Modem manufacturer has a website & search for Linux drivers from
website.
