My US Robotics PCI modem works with Mandrake 9.1 because
I could choose COM5 during the install.
Knoppix only offers COM 1-4.
Can I get this modem working with Knoppix?

MattT 's script did the trick.

Type this into a root shell:
cd /dev
./MAKEDEV ttyS4
ln -s ttyS4 modem
chmod 777 modem
chmod 777 ttyS4

Running Knoppix as I write this. Incredible! Just incredible!
I don't use any dialup hardware, but is this the standard fare for people with dialup modems? If so, Knoppix config scripts need a little tweaking.

EdlinUser - Glad you got it working!

aay - Newer pc i modems use non-standard "COM" ports such as ttyS4.
