Is the modem connected with ethernet cables or USb? if its ethernet then you can just use DCHP to connect. If its USB that could be a little more complicated as you would need drivers for the modem which if its a new modem knoppix proaby won't support. Then try starting up konqueror and If I'm not mistaken it should ask for username and password is applicatable.
As for Metroid Prime, Great game.

If it is Ethernet:
Go to "K" Program button and then --->
"Internet" / "Connect" / "ADSL-PPPoE Config"
And follow the prompts...
Pretty much you just answer yes. I have the same setup as you and I am typing this on Konquerer right now!
Good Luck...(Shouldn't need it..its easy...!)

IYou need to enter the whole string, with ISP, like metroid@SBCGlobal.com. It's easy, and it works great!

Yeah,
Metroid, like the post before says:
username:
(username)@sbcglobal.net
password:
(yourpasswd)
Answer (CLICK) "YES" to all questions.
And then it will do what you said (say it is triggered) and you should be connecting fine. I have exactly the same dsl setup same modem/provider so I know this works. You can go to sbc and get your list of News servers and smtp/pop addresses too, and get everything working cool.
Your DNS will download automatically by answering YES to /etc/resolv.conf question. Like I said answer YES to all questions!
I think your problem before was you put just your username in w/o the @sbcglobal.net. This will not allow you to logon to SBCYahoo Concentrator. And of course you needed to answer YES to all those questions
