Well I can understand your frustration. I know that I have installed Debian at least 12 times and I finally have it to do what I want, but it took a lot of reading to get here. I don't understand the pon thing though cause on my initial installation I was able to set up wvdial and it didn't have a problem finding my externial modem... Is it that you have a winmodem? Have you tried to use the pppconfig? Since starting to use Debian I have also been able to install the correct drivers for my Lucent WinModem and it works great.. As far as StarOffice I had that installed on a Mandrake disto without a problem and also the printer would set up right out of the box. Mandrake also will install teh Windozz fonts for you with their DrakFont.
Last but not least have you asked for help? This is a really good list to get help from.
