Maybe I'm not understanding - how would knoppix know or care what ADSL modem you're using? Aren't you connecting to it via ethernet? I'm thinking that all Knoppix is going to know about is your ethernet card.

i am just about to embark on a linux install but was wondering whether I will be able to get online once i have done it. I have a Zoom ADSL modem, where can i find drivers that will get it working under my linux install??
