Okay; so you have a working modem. Excellent.
What happened when the guy at linmodems.org suggersted using the network card is that I downloaded via dselect all the optional networking files from my 7 cd pak Debian v.3.or2. When I did this everything started malfunctioning; ie, lost host name, email malfunction, etc.
My guess is that the installation of these files ran into a glitch that wasn't noticed, which broke your networking. (I'm guessing this because installing network files will not cause the host name to get lost, unless something went wrong.)
I lost dialup capabilities when I uninstalled the optional networking files. I know I have to reinstall, but can someone tell me which ones.
"apt-get install ppp pppconfig" will _probably_ get you working again. This is making a lot of assumptions on my end about the state of your system. I would probably do an "apt-get update" first.
