1)how do I disable/rectify the modem
At the GRUB boot screen type "a" to modify the kernel boot parameters,
type "1" to boot in single user mode, "enter". (If you set a GRUB
password will first have to type "p" and give the password.) This will
give you a root prompt where you can work on the problem.
Can't give much advice on how to fix the problem[s] without more
information on what you have done already. Might try
# chkconfig network off
to keep the network from trying to start until you resolve the problems.
Please read ESR's excellent advice on getting good help:
