maybe this is where you ask about modem support? lol.....
i got me a broadxent dsi v.92 pci DI3631 modem and i'm trying to get knoppix to use it... but it just doesn't seem to be happenin'. anyone know anyway i can pull this off? now... i also might add that the broadxent is not my original modem... i got a lucent winmodem in here that took a dump (hardly ever connect.. runs slow as molases..) so i stuck the broadxent in but left the lucent in too. so i got 2 modems... one that works and the other one i didn't feel like ripping out at the time. any help? please?

i like what i'm seeing with knoppix... but i have to keep pulling the disk out and switch back to windows to get online.

Did you already tried to configure your modem? Press the penquin icon on the taskbar. Select Network/Internet > modem dialer.

tried to configure the modem several times. no luck. i wondering if broadxent is linux compatible. i know there are some that are not for one reason or another. anybody know?

first off thanks....
i tried fooling around with the driver last night. i didn't get it to work yet (though honestly i don't know what i'm excactly doing...lol) anyways it was late and after a bit i just decided to go to bed and try it again another time. lol. anyways... thanks again. i'll figure it out yet!

okay....

i installed the driver... i think it worked.. got everything set up .. go to do that 'pppd call isp nodetach' thing that's listed on the link and get a message says something like 'etc/peers/isp doesn't exist. no such directory or something or other. ' how to i set up pppd? i have no clue what i'm doing. lol. am i missing something?

If you have kde, try kppp - an graphical setup tool.

**spamhippy** · 05-31-2004, 07:02 PM

the problem is, the driver is really, really new.... and it says it won't run yet without doing 'pppd call isp nodetach' the only problem is... everytime i type that in... i get 'etc/peers/isp' (i believe that's the name...) does not exist. so... my question still stands... how does one go about setting up things so they can do a 'pppd call isp nodetach' ? because it sounds like that the only way i'm going to get this driver to work and get online. thanks anyhow.

If you buy a very, very new refrigerator, you can plug it into an old power supply.
So try good old kppp.

i've already tried it.(several times) it doesn't work with kppp. it's an experimental driver that so far only work with 'pppd call isp nodetach.' so... how do i get 'pppd call isp nodetach' to work? (detail of problems listed above...) the instructions that came with the driver even say kppp doesn't work. thanks... but still my question remains.....
