I have just had ADSL installed on my phone line, with a Alcatel Speedtouch USB
modem.
I have not yet been able to get ot to work with Suse as there don;t seem to be
any Linux drivers (as usual).
Have any of you got it to work ? it does not get picked upi when I boot into
Linux.
The modem version I have is for United Kingdom only, and my ISP is PIPEX.
Cheers friends :-))

I have ADSL (also PIPEX) working with 7.3. I followed the
instructions at
http://benoit.papillault.free.fr/speedtouch/index.en.php3 I also
found a script to go in /etc/init.d that will make a connection at
boot time. I'll post it in full as I can't find the link.
You will just need to add the appropriate links in the runlevel
directories.
For your info I've never had a moments bother with this setup. works
great.
