Not many USB ADSL modems work with Linux. So normal advise is to ask only for ethernet modem from provider. That said it can still be possible to go further but you need to find out model and all possible details of this USB modem.

Look at the site http://eciadsl.flashtux.org there you can see if your particular modem works with the method suggested. Personally I was given a USB modem by Bharti Airtel which did not work (as per site also) but they were nice enough to change it to ethernet modem on my persistent follow up. And this has nothing to do with Triban or any other ADSL service provider. And finally we would appreciate if you can do inline/bottom posting and snip of irrelevant portions. Top posting is sign of laziness. -- Regards, Sudev Barar ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
