Believe me, I know about the hair-pulling thing.

As for the Windows disk, yeah that'll work.  In RH7 (as in most other 
distros) the /etc/fstab file is set up for auto-detection of disks, so you 
should just be able to type "mount /dev/floppy" and it will mount whether 
it's ext2 or dos.

Failing that, I still say use kppp.  It's as easy to use as the Windows 
setup.  And as long as you have KDE installed, you can run it, even under 
GNOME.
