Marvin,
Could you please just say what you want?
Because of what you wrote in "Subject", I fail to understand if you need
help to establish a DSL connection or an old style dialup analog
connection with your Conexant analog modem?
Do you run Knoppix from a CD or is it installed on a hard disk?
This place does NOT handle requests about DSL.
For your Conexant HCF analog modem you would need the Linuxant HCF
driver (instructions attached) but you will have hard time if your
Knoppix runs from a CD.

If you do not already know, find out in your ModemData.txt if your modem is of
type HSF or of type HCF.
In the following, HxF stands for the one to be used.
Note down your distribution, your processor, and your kernel (shown in the
System Information section of ModemData.txt).
-Go to http://www.linuxant.com/drivers
-Find the HxF menu in the left part of the screen.
-Read README.
-Read INSTALLATION.
-Click DOWNLOAD.
-Accept conditions.
-Find text: "You can download HxF modem packages from the driver
download page." and click on that link.
-I very strongly recommend NOT TO LET YOURSELF BE ATTRACTED BY THE AUTOMATIC
INSTALLER cnxtinstall.run. Just think: you need a connection to be able to use
it, and this is what you do not have yet. Use the direct download page.
Its address is http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads.php
Using it will not save you any time, on the contrary, because you will not know
what to look for and do with it.
-Since you have noted your distribution, your processor, and your kernel
(shown in the System Information section of ModemData.txt), identify the
matching file.
-Download the matching file.
-Read again and, if you read this text under Windows, print the installation
instructions matching the kind of driver file which you downloaded.
-If downloaded elsewhere (Windows on same computer or using an other computer),
copy the downloaded file to your Linux working space.
-Now, under Linux, just follow the Linuxant installation instructions.
NOTE: the space on a floppy disk is sufficient for the driver file. This
is the simplest way to download under Windows on the same computer or to
download on an other computer.
