If you are struggling with this ADSL modem here is something that worked for me: I used //sourceforge.net/projects/speedtouch driver 1.2-beta1 and the scripts speedtouchconf available there. Ensure that your kernel supports HDLC and USB. Stopped the firewall as well. Stop Kinternet as well. Don't use DSL setup in YaST. My ISP is in the UK. Had to modifiy the version number in the speedtouchconf.sh script from 1.1 to 1.2-beta1.... that was all ;-) speedtouchconf-07.03.2003.tar.gz is the setup scripts speedtouch-1.2-beta1.tar.gz is the drivers needed speedmgmt.tar.gz is from Alcatel website. Put them all into /speedtouchconf-07.03.2003 after extracting the speedtouchconf tarball ... and run the speedtouchconf.sh script.... It has been working for 2 weeks now...
