The Alcatel SpeedTouch (pnp) is a internal modem and connects to phone line without the need fo a ethernet card, it's like a normal internal modem. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian W. Carver" To: "suse-linux-e" Sent: Wednesday, May 08, 2002 1:19 PM Subject: Re: [SLE] Alcatel adsl modem

As far as I know cable modems and DSL modems don't need to be detected, so you'd be fine. The modem sends a signal into your ethernet card and so long as your ethernet card(s) are recognized your fine.

I am thinking of switching from win xp to suse 8.0 and would like to know if the Alcatel SpeedTouch (pnp) PC Ver 2.1.4nz would be found on installing suse. I have looked the the help section but have not found anything.

Hi

You will have to check www.alcatel.com - a couple of months ago when I looked there were no linux drivers for it available, they were "Coming Soon".

As an alternative you might want to have a look at...... http://www.dslsource.co.uk/products.asp?idProdType=2 quite a few people have switched to the The Speed Touch 510 ADSL Router which is proving to be something of a leader in the ADSL hardware market. Built in hardware firewall. Thanks -- Richard www.sheflug.co.uk
