FOA, thanks for answer.
Unfortunately, redhat-config-network in RH9 malfunctions (python scripts
give some unresolved) so I 've been forced to mount redhat-config-network*
utility version 1.3.1 to make it work. However, after 'adsl-start' script,
also RCN v1.3.1 gives error (see below):

May be, it no more finds some config file as it expected....
patience... Until RH 10 (in which I hope they won't mess so far!!), I modify
network config file manually under /etc/sysconfig/network*
In my next text, I intend also to set DEBUG=1 before invoking any script,
because I saw it will output a debug file on /tmp, and I will check
permissions.
Thank you for your kindness.
