I have never, knowingly, installed it on this laptop.  I did, however, 
make sure that Networking Support was installed when I first installed 
Fedora 13.  Although I have used dial-up support under Linux, by the 
time I got this box I no longer had an account with ppp access, so I've 
never had a reason before to check for it.  How it came in I don't know, 
and I'm not interested in experimenting to find out if I can remove it 
without removing anything else.  I'm just mentioning that it's here.
