Actually, there is nothing wrong with running SuSE. I heard a lot of
good things about MEPIS, so I wanted to try it. I just don't understand
why KPPP can't find my modem. I'm using SuSE right now so I know my
modem works with Linux. Too bad MEPIS doesn't have K-Internet.

I just downloaded all the RPMs for apt-get. Now to figure out how to use
it. :-))
