Until this time all console text had a large black margin (at least 1 inch on all sides) indicating a higher vid mode I think.  Now, the characters are all larger and there is no margin....this is an annoyance only because I don't know what caused it.  I'm only mentioning it because it occured simultaneously with the second symptom.

Please wrap your text at 80 columns or less.

It sounds like screen-expand got toggled on your Thinkpad.  You can
toggle it by pressing Fn+F8.

> I have tried everything I can to rebuild this system in order to use this modem again.  Besides numerous kernel rebuilds, I have completely reformatted and reinstalled RH7.3 and the symptoms are the same.  This led me to believe it is a setting in the BIOS.  I entered the thinkpad bios by holding F1 while booting and there appear to be no configuration for pcmcia or serial ports.  Finally this made me think the modem was actually bad....unfortunately I just put it in another system and it works fine.

Perhaps your PCMCIA hardware has gone bad.  See if any other PC cards
work in your system.
