how to mount a modem

[GreyOwl]

Hi, Just booted Knoppix on a Thinkpad, ran 'LSPCI" to see if there is a modem detected,, there is.,,, so I need to know how to associate what I see in the lspci list as modem to a device such as /dev/modem. Below is the output of LSPCI that relates to my modem:
0000:02:02.0 Communication controller: Lucent Microelectronics WinModem 56k (rev 01)

Region 1: I/O ports at 6440 [size=8]
Region 2: I/O ports at 6000 [size=256]
Capabilities: <available only to root>

Another question: Do I need to install Knoppix on a hard drive to save configuation files? (I have a mountable memory key)

Thanks

This a very good site for winmodems http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/ especially scanmodem utility http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/#scanmodem

Do I need to install Knoppix

I think you musrt install it on hdd. There are some new ways of dooing things, but this is in experimental period(?).

Thanks tdjokic, i have the information I need from the modem site.
My PC recognizes my modem ok. I can use kppp.
When I configure my modem, I need to tell Linux the device address (/dev/ttyS0, or /dev/ttuSL0).
I've tried '/dev/modem' ..... I get a message saying Knoppix cannot find /dev/modem
I've tried '/dev/ttyS0' ........ I get a message saying device is busy

What my question now is: What address do I assign to my modem when configuring it? ttyS0, ttyS1?,,, how does one decide what the address must be?

Scanmodem output:

knoppix@ttyp1[knoppix]$ scanmodem

A PCMCIA modem is detected.


From this output I see what i need to get the drivers (11c1:0410) but nothing in this to say what address I should assign to the modem.

Thanks.
