If you bought your computer at a bargain, you probably have something called a winmodem.
Winmodems need special drivers to run with Linux. To see if a driver for your modem is available-
check here http://www.linmodems.org/ and look for your modem's driver and some installation instructions.
For an in-depth look at how modems work with linux check here http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Modem-HOWTO.html

It seems like you're trying to use KPPP to dialup. KPPP has always given me a busy signal for my
modem, so i use wvdial.

(My modem in windows is on COM3, but my Linux driver makes the kernel have it appear at /dev/ttyS15 ! You can't use KPPP for that!)
Anyway, getting your linmodem to work can be a bit of work, but it's definately worth it.

I can`t .I only have a dialup so it will take me ages to download.I just wanted to know how as browsing froma live cd is safe than windows which collects malware and all stuff every time I surf.I actually have even games knoppix i.e 3.7 i guess. i have trouble in opening the mounted win partitions.

If you don't want to download a whole other .iso image...
Just get wvdial from source : http://<br /> http://www.linuxlooku...al-1.41.tar.gz
or get a rpm:

If you have further questions about wvdial try here:

Frankly all you really need to do is read man wvdial.conf, make a file named wvdial.conf in /etc and type wvdial at the command line. ( you might have to do this as root)
Wvdial can have your modem located anywhere, not like in KPPP.
Once it's set, all you have to do every time is type wvdial.

What exactly is the trouble you are having opening win partitions?
(try this for ntfs fs as root:mount -t ntfs -o ro /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1)
