I am an XP user and would like to try using knoppix. From reading the forum it looks like my windows modem wont work with Knoppix. I tried SUSE and after running into the same problem found out that I needed to buy an external modem but even after doing so was never able to dial out and connect to my ISP.

If I try knoppix will I have the same problems trying to configure it as I did with SUSE? I don't have any software with the modem. This was a few years ago so maybe things have changed and hopefully gotten a little more user friendly?
