Oh....duh....
I had a moment of stupidity there, sorry.

...it was just a moment....really.

You might try the wvdial myDSL extension. Download from here:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/damnsmall/mydsl/net/
Install with "mydsl-load /path/to/wvdial.dsl" (as user 'dsl', not root)

Should work fine.

mount /dev/fd0 && mydsl-load /mnt/floppy/wvdial.dsl

Not positive that "/mnt/floppy" is the correct path, but i'm pretty sure.

It sounds to me that you have used your modem with other Linux distros-puppy,linspire and knoppix? So one may think that it would be feasible to connect with DSL which could be possible depending on the type of modem you have.

Win-modems seem to be the most troublesome for Linux and using a "live-distro" presents another problem-editing and saving files.

I have used the dial-up config that comes with DSL and it is just a matter of using the "tab,space,up & down arrows and enter" keys to get where you need to go. Give it a go and if you have a good modem you'll be connected in no time.
