Dial Up Networking Connection

[technolamb]

Hi there, I am really new to Knoopix and already I am having problem to connect to the interenet using my DUN connection setting. I try to set manually my ISP setting like you would normally do with Windows but it is not that straight forward with knoppix. Is there any way I can clone my existing DUN setting to use them with knoppix or how do I set them up maually.
In addition knoppix cannot find my modem.

I am running a standard DUN connection with standard 56K data fax modem.

Please help as I am just fade up with XP and would like to ditch it once for all but can't until I can connect to the internet with Knoppix.

First you might have a WIN modem that only works with PCTEL or other WINDOWS only software. Check out for better details.

try these commands
#dmesg | more page through what it says about detecting on power up initialization

#modprobe acm
#lsmod list the loaded modules
#lspci list the PCI bus modules, to see if you have the winmodem card


Read my Cell Phone as USB Modem post This has the settings in the chatscript text files
for earthlink and for sprint dial up. That should give you a starting point I use a 33.6K US an External Robotics Sportser Voice modem that I picked up as used for $10. Check the Goodwill or Thrift Store for external modems or ISA bus style Hayes type modems that have the 16C550 serial port interface. These are easy to setup and get working with Linux.
