I haven't used a dial-up modem in Linux, but to my knowledge, yes, you
should activate the modem connection when you want to connect to the
internet. You can do it by clicking on the appropriate menus, or typing
"redhat-config-network" at the terminal.

You can disconnect by doing the same thing as you did above, but this time
deactivate the device rather than activating it.

I haven't played a DVD in Linux, so I would recommend to search for "dvd
linux" at http://www.google.com and "dvd linux group:comp.os.linux.*" at
http://groups.google.com.

I have no idea here. Again, try searching both on Google and Google Groups
and see what you can come up with.

Hello
For accessing windows partitions under RedHat 9, just create the mount
point by simply creating a new "folder" under /mnt i.e. /mnt/win_c
Then check in /etc/fstab for the following line :
/dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c vfat
user,exec,dev,nosuid,rw,umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850 0 0
(your codepage might be different...)
Hope it helps
