This is going to be fairly painful... :(
First of all what is RTC modem??? If you have a Winmodem it probably won't
even work.
First you will need to make sure your modem is detected. You will need the
serial-net.tgz kernel package which has the ppp kernel modules and serial
modules as well. You will need to use kernel 2.4.5 and copy the package to
your boot floppy.
trinux> lsmod

If you don't see this then try /etc/init.m/ppp
and try again
doing
#dmesg

Actually they are the same thing :) Read
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/PPP-HOWTO/
and write back to the list after you get the kernel modules installed
-mdf
