If you are running from live CD you cannot install anything unless you do it with klik. I don't think winmodem support is available from klik, so it's a no-go.
Try kanotix. It has ltmodem already installed. The command is detect-modem.sh.
I use the Knoppix 3.7 CD to run on a laptop Toshiba Satellite 1905-S303.
It has one internal modem Toshiba Soft Modem AMR PCI bus 0, device 31, function 6, connected to COM3
I use the instruction here to install driver for the modem:

However, the /etc/lib and some other directories of Knoppix are read-only, because they are on the CD, so I can not run
make install-amr to install the driver.
Do you have any suggestion about install Winmodem driver for Knoppix Linux?
I have 2 DOS partitions on my laptop to use as Swap, Home and Config storage for Knoppix.
Thank you,
Linh.

Thank you CrashedAgain. It is indeed a no-go situation. I try Kanotix with detect-modem, but it doesn't work either.
Maybe I need to buy a PCMCI modem which Knoppix/Kanotix will recognize.
