bt adsl and alcatel help wanted

I have downloaded the speedmgmt package from alcatel's site and have installed it in /root/mgmt .I have followed all other instructions as given by Suse in their knowledge database and have configured my bt adsl settings via yast2. Will I just need to invoke the /etc/hotplug/usb/speedtouch script in order to be able to connect or do I need to do something else as well? I will be sharing a friend's bt adsl line and need to know how to make this work in linux in hope of persuading him to install linux and of course to be able to upgrade kde3 ;-) Thanks, Josef
