"Maybe I should have bought something else": There's a thought :-) Do you know of any (internal / PCI) ADSL modems that work with RedHat 8 without this problem ?
"EXPORT_SYMBOL(sys_call_table);": I think I've tried that in the past and every command I executed after that caused a kernel failure. But... I'm recompiling the kernel with your suggestion as we speak. I'll let you know.
Thanks for your help.

Maybe you should have bought something else :)

Do not do that. Get the Red Hat kernel source, and you should be able to revert the patch that removes sys_call_table, and rebuild the kernel.
Red Hat hid the change inside the patch called "linux-2.4.1-compilefailure" for some bizarre reason. Basically you need to re-add
EXPORT_SYMBOL(sys_call_table);
to kernel/ksyms.c
You might also need to add before that :
extern void *sys_call_table[];
Then rebuild your kernel, reboot, and you should be good to go.
