Dear Jean-simon

Thank you for your comments.

It turns out the acpi was off.
I listed the file,

/etc/lilo.conf

below.

Unfortunately, this page doesn't have much 
docs.  I think I going to buy a modem and
be done with it.  I using a 4 years old Dell
laptop.  Is it better to get an internal or
external modem?

Again, thanks for your help.
