I can't help you on the modem,
but try typing
insmod ppa
on a prompt. If that works, then you are already somewhere. Then you have
to create a directory to mount the zip to, like /mnt/zip and find out on
which device the ZIP is located. Most likely on /dev/sda4. Try 'mount
/dev/sda4 /mnt/zip' and see if that works.
