OK.  I just deleted the things and rebooted.  It works now, the modem anyway.

For those who was following my thread about not being able to send email.  I 
can open Mozilla just fine on the new install.  I can NOT send a email except 
to those on my local ISP.  Ain't that some crap.  All this for nothing.

I'm hitting up a new thread again I guess.  Look for it shortly after this 
post.

Thanks
