RHEL repositories are only available by the means of (paid)
subscription. So, if you want RHEL, you have to subscribe, see
redhat.com for details.

A free alternative is CentOS; see centos.org for details. Apparently it
will be enough to run this:
rpm -ihv
http://mirror.yandex.ru/centos/3/centosplus/i386/RPMS/centos-yumconf-3-2.noarch.rpm
to set up centos3 repos for yum.

Can you tell us whether you want to upgrade from RHEL3 to, say, RHEL5,
or just wanted to apply all the updates released for RHEL3?
