Other Help Topics :: Broadband modem problem

Hi I'm a complete Linux noob, and very impressed with DSL. I'm running it on a PII 233 with 128mb ram.

I'm running DSL currently by booting off the 0.8.0 floppy, with the ISO extracted to my c:\ drive. I don't currently have a CD burner. It boots and runs fine, except for the fact the modem driver fails. It trys to load a few drivers, but they all fail. When I go to net setup, it just says it can't find a card.

I have a speedtouch 330 ADSL modem.

I am reluctant to install on the HD, as I don't understand a lot about linux, but I'm trying to learn. Unfortunatly I feel a little lost when im in DSL without my broadband to connect to the outside world! So I'm going into DSL to have a play around and try some things, then rebooting into windows to get help & support.

Any ideas, comments or links greatly appreciated.

Rob.

Here's a couple links that might help, since dsl is based on knoppix 3.4:

Also, if your modem works in MSWindows and you just want to give DSL a quick try with networking, try running DSL from inside Windows with full networking support.

It's called DSL embedded. It should work, but it runs REAL SLOW...

Thanks a lot for that info cbagger01! I'm on my way to a life of linux.
