I just loaded Knoppix on my hard drive, and it worked absolutely BEAUTIFULLY.

EXCEPT for the modem. (And I've seen this same problem with SuSE, by the way.) If I designate the modem as ttyS0, with hardware flow control and CR/LF (or CR or LF), and query the modem, it will say "Modem Ready" and will go through the AT's, up to AT7 and then display absolutely nothing for the AT's.

If I attempt to log onto the Internet, it says "Modem Ready" and "Initializing Modem..." and the log window just says "Expecting OK" and nothing else.

I've played with just about every setting I can think of, and still no joy. Any ideas?

Edited to add: My dumb @$$ forgot to note that it's an internal US Robotics Performance Pro 56K V.92 controller controller based modem, model # USR5610. It works FINE under EVERY OTHER distribution EXCEPT SuSE and (at least for now) Knoppix.
