I am using a "designed for WinXP" laptop system, and therefore cannot use my Winmodem. However I have a PCMCIA v.90 modem and hope to use that with my Knoppix CD. The Knoppix CD boots and comes up just fine.
However, being *totally* new to both Linux and Knoppix, I'm lost on getting dial PPP to work, and also saving the the dial settings on floppy so they can be reloaded each time. I just can't find anything on this in the Knoppix help files. No doubt something an experienced Linux person could solve quickly, but I have not such experience and am operating solo.
Any hints please on setting up dial up for ISP from the Knoppix CDROM. Help would be much appreciated.
P.S. So far, Knoppix looks like a super rich environment.

Could you mail me the info on how to get the modem to work too?
I just ordered the Knoppix 3.1 CD today.

I've come to the same problem, is the info on how to configure modems too long to post here? If so, I'll gladly contact you by email.Originally Posted by monkymind
Here's a text only version (I've had no feedback to the emails I sent - but it works for me)Originally Posted by monkymind
Dialout Configuration
1) Open the "KNOPPIX -> Network/Internet -> Modem Dialer " entry
2) When KPPP opens select the [Setup] button
3) kppp Configuration window opens & select [Device] tab
4) From the dropdown menu next to [Modem Device] select your com port
* /dev/ttyS0 for com 1
* /dev/ttyS1 fro com 2 etc
5) Then go to the [Connection Speed] entry & select [115200] for 56k modem
6) Click on the [Modem] tab and click on the [Query Modem] button
If everything has been setup correctly a window will pop open with the Modem Query Results
If it doesn't - try another com port step - 4) & retry step 6)
7) Click on the [Accounts] tab then the [New] button
8 ) Choose [Dialog setup]
9) Enter ISP name "my fav isp" etc. & the ISP's phone number when prompted
10) OK everything till you get back to KPPP window
11) Add your Login ID:
12) Add your Password:
13) Click on the [Connect] button
That should be it!

I have a problem connecting to the Internet with my PCMCIA modem under Knoppix. Knoppix recognizes and installs the modem as /dev/ttyS4, but kPPP only shows connections for serial ports up to /dev/ttyS3. Is there any easy way to get kPPP to recognize /dev/ttyS4? Or alternately, get Knoppix to load the PCMCIA modem to a lower serial port assignment?
So far, this is the only problem that I've had running Knoppix on my Dell laptop.
