	I have heard in the past that hardware that windows loves
suddenly disappears after Linux has a go. I don't know about the
particulars of your LS120, but if it's an internal sort of thing and
uses pug & play, chances are that Windows finds the p'n'p configuration
has been changed, and hence doesn't recognize it. 

	And as for ISDN, are you sure that RH 6.1 supports it out of the
box? (presumably it does, but otherwise, you'll need to get a kernel all
beefed up...)

	Regards,
	José
