WELLLL!
I'm sending this email under RedHat Linux 7.1 believe
it or not. Thank you for all your help. I got the
correct DNS servers and now Netscape recognizes names.

As for the isapnp problem - i'm working on that.....
here's what i found inside rc.sysinit:

# check for arguments 

if grep -iq nopnp /proc/cmdline >/dev/null 2>&1 ; then
    PNP=
else
    PNP=yes
fi

# set up pnp 
if [ -x /sbin/isapnp -a -f /etc/isapnp.conf -a ! -f
/proc/isapnp ]; then
    if [ -n "$PNP" ]; then
	action $"Setting up ISA PNP devices: " /sbin/isapnp
/etc/isapnp.conf
    else
	action $"Skipping ISA PNP configuration at users
request: " /bin/true
    fi
fi

LATER on in there an evil program tweaking isapnp
(well...maybe it's not so evil since it probably makes
my audio work...but my modem does not get activated)


# tweak isapnp settings if needed.
if [ -n "$PNP" -a  -f /proc/isapnp -a -x
/sbin/sndconfig ]; then
    /sbin/sndconfig --mungepnp >/dev/null 2>&1
fi


# Load sound modules iff they need persistent DMA
buffers
if grep -q "options sound dmabuf=1" /etc/modules.conf
2>/dev/null ; then
  RETURN=0
  alias=`/sbin/modprobe -c | egrep -s
"^alias[[:space:]]+sound[[:space:]]+" | awk '{ print
$3 }'`
  if [ -n "$alias" -a "$alias" != "off" ] ; then
      action $"Loading sound module ($alias): "
modprobe $alias
      RETURN=$?
  fi
  alias=`/sbin/modprobe -c | egrep -s
"^alias[[:space:]]+sound-slot-0[[:space:]]+" | awk '{
print $3 }'`
  if [ -n "$alias" -a "$alias" != "off" ] ; then
      action $"Loading sound module ($alias): "
modprobe $alias
      RETURN=$?
  fi
  # Load mixer settings
  if grep -q "\(sparcaudio\|sound\)" /proc/devices
2>/dev/null ; then
      if [ $RETURN -eq 0 -a -f /etc/.aumixrc -a -x
/bin/aumix-minimal ]; then
	  action $"Loading mixer settings: "
/bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L
      fi
  fi
fi

__________________________________
The two action statements regarding isapnp are not in
the bios startup log. The only thing about isapnp on
startup that i see is 
Something like scanning/searching for ISA PNP cards
LT MODEM
On board PnP audio
2 PnP Cards detected...
similar to that....^^ but this message appears 
before the bios log...i think.....
the green OK statements come after that

Is there any way to see what
sndconfig does to my isapnp configuration...?
