So use it on the fly like the script from Fabian ,don't think so.
Hm, I think there is hope.

The winmodem driver I have seen did not compile but as I could see it did not demand kernel-compilation either.

Kai Lahmann got nVidia nForce driver for nvnet (netword-card) working.

And I myself, as you know alsa, so I think if its just a module to be compiled it could be added

Then you would just have to take a live-installer with you on a floppy or usb and have your modem working everywhere with knoppix.

However I need to get real requests which modem, where to download driver and if it compiles and is usable just as modules.
