Which new RedHat are you using?

Probably because you're using a kernel version that doesn't exist. <grin> 
Last I saw, 2.2.19 was the newest 2.2 kernel. If you upgraded to RH 7.1, you 
could have gotten a 2.4 kernel. I know they changed how modems are configured 
with the 2.4 kernel. You don't need the setserial command for PCI hardware 
modems any more (at least not the 2 I've used, a MultiTech and a USR).

Does your winmodem require a special driver from the vendor? If so, do you 
have a source or binary distribution of it? If source, did you rebuild it 
with the new kernel? If binary, what kernel is it built for? Oh yeah, and 
either way, if it was written for use with the 2.2 kernel, it may need 
changes to work with 2.4.

Can you give us more details on the hardware are you using? What did it look 
like (lspci -v) under the old kernel (which worked)? How does that compare to 
how it looks under the new kernel (which doesn't work)?
