You can have a look at www.smoothwall.org to see if that works with your modem.

Howdy List dwellers,

I have an associate that has been using an SME_server box I setup on dial-up
for a while. Last week, or two before that I don't remember.......In a flash
of inspiration, along the lines of reducing expenses. They decided that
broadband would the answer and promptly contacted me to say "can you call to
site and install this 'Alcatel SpeedTouch 330' thing we've just acquired to
allow us to do broadband."

OK, longwinded intro....onto the questions. Yes, I've googled and attempted
to follow all the suggestions I've seen.

Has anyone on the list got one of these devices working? On Linux? On
SMEserver?

I had a real quick peruse of the IPCOP site, whilst I see the Alcatel
mentioned all the messages on ipcop-user leave me cold.

In a nut-shell, do I continue along the path of hair loss OR do I suggest
that this device be swapped/replaced with a more "Linux" friendly device?
Which would be?

While I realise this post is longer than a single line and does ask for
opinions, I am trying to convince a person that a Linux solution is viable
for there use.

Replies to list or off-list as to what devices people are using and how
problematic they were to set-up are welcome.

Thanks for reading my post, and have a nice day.

regards, Andrew
