[Knoppix] Configuring xDSL connections

I'm using Knoppix 3.3 as a demonstration system at my school. I'm trying to convince our systems administrator to 'convert'. Knoppix boots fine with my own settings on a floppy, but I can't seem to configure a xDSL connection. When I start the 'ADSL/PPOE Configuration' Utility, it detects the onboard-ethernet device (eth0). It starts searching for a 'PPoE Acces Concentrator'. The program doesnt find one and then it exits.

I'm using a Copperjet 811 xDSL modem connected via a crosslink cable. I haven't tried the USB cable yet. I have no clue as to what the specifications of my onboard-ethernet are. My ISP is Quicknet. Am I doing something wrong?

DOSSRV(4)						     Kernel Interfaces Manual							 DOSSRV(4)

NAME
dossrv, 9660srv, a:, b:, c:, eject - DOS and ISO9660 file systems SYNOPSIS
dossrv [ -v ] [ -s ] [ -f file ] [ service ] 9660srv [ -v ] [ -s ] [ -f file ] [ service ] a: b: c: eject [ n ] DESCRIPTION
Dossrv is a file server that interprets DOS file systems. A single instance of dossrv can provide access to multiple DOS disks simultane- ously. Dossrv posts a file descriptor named service (default dos) in the /srv directory. To access the DOS file system on a device, use mount with the spec argument (see bind(1)) the name of the file holding raw DOS file system, typically the disk. If spec is undefined in the mount, dossrv will use file as the default name for the device holding the DOS system. Normally dossrv creates a pipe to act as the communications channel between itself and its clients. The -s flag instructs dossrv to use its standard input and output instead. The kernels use this if they are booting from a DOS disk. This flag also prevents the creation of an explicit service file in /srv. The -v flag causes verbose output for debugging. The shell script a: contains unmount /n/a: >[2] /dev/null mount -c /srv/dos /n/a: /dev/fd0disk and is therefore a shorthand for mounting a floppy disk in drive A. The scripts b: and c: are similar. 9660srv is identical to dossrv in specification, except that it interprets ISO9660 CD-ROM file systems instead of DOS file systems. If the floppy drive has an ejection motor, eject will spit out the floppy from drive n, default 0. EXAMPLE
Mount a floppy disk with a DOS file system on it. dossrv a: SEE ALSO
