I have found that Wvdial works very well on most of my modems, that stock dial-up setups in DSL would not work with. So, I add it when ever I can. I am using the syslinux version of DSL 1.1 now, and added Wvdial in a quick and dirty fashion, by copying the Wvdial 95.20 KB file to /home/dsl, and copying my wvdial.conf file to /etc, both of these I keep on a floppy. The new DSL 1.1 will automatically save my Wvdial and settings, If I include them in my filetool.lst. In your case, all the programs you need would probably be in the big distros, like Knoppix, and not in DSL. DSL does have wonderful ways to add programs, and to make a new CD with all that included, but that may not be for the faint of heart as they say, in your case. I had to add Wvdial in Knoppix, to make use of these modems I have, some very expensive PCMCIA, and $80.00 ISA. Cheaper to put in Wvdial than to find new modems. This certainly is not going to be a final answer to your problem, just some suggestions.
