Hello. I cannot seem to get KNOPPIX v7.0.4 and Ubuntu v12.04.1 i386 live CDs to see an old Creative Modem Blaster V.92 USB (DE5671 Model) dial-up modem. It worked fine in Windows (XP SP3 to 64-bit 7) on two machines. When I plugged it in during a KNOPPIX session, dmesg detects it. Ubuntu v12.04.1 i386 live CD detects something, but can't identify it. The Linux tests were on an old Dell Dimension 8250 (512 MB of RAM) machine. KNOPPIX's dmesg showed: ... [ 113.693346] usb 4-2: new full-speed USB device number 2 usinguhci_hcd [ 118.856286] usb 4-2: New USB device found, idVendor=148d, idProduct=1671 [ 118.856293] usb 4-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=6 [ 118.856297] usb 4-2: Product: Creative Modem Blaster V.92 USB [ 118.856300] usb 4-2: Manufacturer: Creative Pte Ltd.

I tried that scanModem script and here are the results: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=sqTeyNgP For now, I just want to see if KNOPPIX can communicate to this modem with its AT commands, but it doesn't seem to find the modem at all even though KNOPPIX's dmesg show detections. http://knoppix.net/forum/threads/30210-Dial-up-Modem-and-KNOPPIX-v7.0.4-Live-CD- 's reply told me to use v3 Kernel isn't supported and to use WvDial for the dial-up modem stuff: root@Microknoppix:/home/knoppix# wvdial --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.61 --> Cannot open /dev/modem: No such file or directory --> Cannot open /dev/modem: No such file or directory --> Cannot open /dev/modem: No such file or directory root@Microknoppix:/home/knoppix# wvdialconf Editing `/etc/wvdial.conf'.
