Use backup/restore to save configuration. Read about it in the "getting started" section.

Probably only need to add /dev/modem to the filetool.lst.Or possibly better add this to bootlocal.sh
ln -s /dev/ttyS1 /dev/modem
Where ttyS1 means COM2
Try one or the other but not both.

I added /dev/modem to the filetool.lst Where is the bootlocal.sh file?
I too have to config my modem/dialup everytime I run DSL, for some reason it goes through the motion of saving and restoring my files to floppy, there are two files- backup.tar.gz and filetool.lst. It 'remembers' nothing I have set.
The most I have been able to "restore" is my desktop style. ie- the default is 'simple' and I set it to 'minimal.' I restore this by bashbox# .bash_profile
Wondering what files I need to edit in order to restore my dialup settings and desktop 'preferences.'

The bootlocal.sh file is in /opt So, add /opt/bootlocal.sh to your filetool.lst.Remember the filetool.lst is copied to your backup media. So you need to first mount that media and edit the copy there. Otherwise the filetool.lst wouldn't be persistent. To check your results, when you are first booting, at the boot prompt use the restore option. See F2 screen for more details and syntax (Press F2 at the first boot prompt). Then after the files are restored do an ls -la /dev/modem to see if you restored that link. All the other setting for the modem are in /opt/ppp and I believe that is already in the default filetool.lst Maybe some more items should be added to the default filetool.lst

once again i fixed it in the /etc/init.d/knoppix-autoconfig
i just removed the
/dev/modem*
from the line where all old devices get removed before auto config
(sorry for that fuzzy description, but im not at home right now)
maybe i affected the autoconfig somehow but now it works
