Will my viewsonic 17gs plug and play monitor
work with redhat 5.1 installation and running?
Alos have sportster 33.6 fax modem; not sure if
that is compatible. Advise would be appreciated.

Linux doesn't care about your monitor, just your video card. And is
that a modem or a WINmodem? WinModems don't work under Linux.

Both of those should work. In theory, nearly any monitor will work with Linux
(it's the video card you have to worry about), and if your modem is external, it
should also be peachy. If you have an internal Plug-n-Pray, then you have to
figure out for yourself how to disable PnP so it acts like a normal ISA modem.
