Hmm, difficult to tell what modem is. I visited the Microspot website and a couple of their usb modems listed with pictures in the catalog files. This one

would appear to use the slmodem drivers. I can't tell aobout this one:


IIf it is the first, you might want to give Kanotix a try, as it is a close relative of knoppix with slmodem drivers included, and i believe a script for configuration .

If you open a root shell and type : lsusb , we should be able to tell if knoppix recognizes the modem and possibly the type of driver needed.
