I case anyone is interested, this just in from Brussels, concerning the status of the latest Alcatel SpeedTouch USB DSL Modem Driver, which is still having some problems. Michael

Has anyone had any problems installing the new Speed TouchTM USB modem (bridge) driver update in SuSE 7.1?

I am working for an internet provider in Belgium, we did many tests. At least after a lot of patching and a lot of failures, we have a working PPPoA configuration, but it's still buggy. - bad performance

should be fixed in a new release soon.

...

- system crash by shutdown - sometimes kernel panic with a big download - sometimes the system can't find the modem any longer, so no possibility to connect or just a disconnect. You have to reboot the computer after that.

These are bugs outside my code. they are still under investigation. J. ----- Give a man a fish.... .. and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish... . .. and he'll buy a boat, skip work, drink beer and tell lies
