Newbie wants to get online

You are on your way...

The next pahse is figuring out if: 1) your modem is supported, and if so, is it simply a download of a driver for Linux/Knoppix. Or, this is possible too, some hardware is not supported within the Linux World - this can be one of two things - the manufacturer does not have the drivers, and will not provide the code needed to create one specific to Linux, or, someone hasn't created one yet. In either case...

ATI1 ES2838
ATI2 RxF2-V90A
ATI3 V4.43.026-TH-PI <--- not sure, but I think this is you model [?]
ATI4 P&A Technology <--- I think this is your modem manufacturer...
ATI5 ES56TH-PI
ATI6 OK
ATI7 OK
AT=TCLA... 0,1,2,8

Hopefully, someone in Knoppix.Net has tried this modem before, or can take this any further, I'm not sure where to go from here now....

Sorry Ikara

I think you might be out of luck with the modem.

A quick google unearthed this.

Two words: forget it.

After some research on the web, it seems as if the ES2838 Winmodem was never and will never be supported with Linux. There are rumors on a binary-only module for Linux being available somewhere, but as no one claims ownership nor is the source available, I even didn’t dreamed of installing it. Some other people were less caref^H^H^H^H^Hparanoid and did, and it didn’t work for them.

I’ll go get a decent PCMCIA modem, and save my time.
