You might want to make sure knoppix has minicom. I assumed it would, since it's about detecting hardware and everything. When I installed mdk 9.2, I had to select it manually along with kppp. So you'll want to check on it. I found this on google -it might get you started, though I don't see the commands like AT anywhere.
