Dail-up?

[Robert Dege]

/etc/rc.d/init.d/network is the startup script that activates any Network
devices.  It looks for an ifcfg-eth* file(s) in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts directory.

So if you move the ifcfg-eth* files out of that directory & restart the
service (or reboot), it should prevent the NIC card from being configured.

You can also see what devices are currently configured for network
connectivity by doing /sbin/ifconfig
