setting up modem for internet connection!
 
I need to setup a modem in knoppix, well I installed it to my hard drive (its debian now) and I dont know how to install a modem, i have looked at howto files, and they all confuse me :D Is there any real easy way to install without loads of coding? coding doesn't bother me, but if coding is neseccery i will do what ever it takes! But any ways thats my problem! I don't know what kind of modem the computer has though!

If it's an internal modem then there's a chance that its a winmodem, which is a cheaper modem that leaves a whole bunch of stuff to windows.

Search for linmodems and goto the website.

I had to get a new modem cos the internal one I had didn't work

thanks phyrexicaid

I have a few more questions!!!

How do i...

change user permissions? I have root and knoppix user accounts!
setup Wine?

I think that is all...for now!

If you have an external modem, mail me at

spam<remove__this>ma@polard.com

and I'll send you a tut that got me started with an external modem on Rh9.
