I am using a Cricket CDMA Modem to connect to the internet with. It works on all the distros I use frequently, (Puppy, Ubuntu and Slax).

Knoppix doesn't auto-recognize it, and I had to hand-enter the 2nd init string and it only connects briefly then disconnects. It is a /dev/tty/ACM0 device. What is the fix?

I appreciate any help you can provide.
