Hi Linda,

Any IDE CDRW should work fine, I like Liteon drives a lot. Good price and good 
quality. XCdroast should find the drive automatically, see the RH 7.3 Getting 
Started Guide for more detailed howto. It includes some basic commands for 
mkisofs and cdrecord, most graphical Linux CD burner programs are just 
frontends for these. Here are more Linux CDRW apps:

KonCD and Gnome Toaster are nice too.

You might be able to get your modem working with some kernel tweaks, every 
kernel upgrade has USB improvements. See http://www.usbman.com/linuxusb.htm.
