I just purchased Knoppix v. 3.2 and must admit that I am completely new to Linux. (I am also not a great expert with Windows...)

Anyhow, it appears that Knoppix does not detect my internal model (US Robotics 56k - not a Winmodem AFAIK). Could someone please tell me if Knoppix works with this modem? If so, would you mind giving me DETAILED instructions on how to make it work or point me to a source of help? (Keep in mind I am a newbie - please do not overdo it with tech jargon.)

I tried finding an answer in the help files that come on the CD-ROM but there is nothing under keywords such as "modem" or "detection".

A big Thank You to anybody who will give me a hand.
