I tried doing what you suggest, but upon running the 'adsl' file I get a
message saying that it couldn't find my adsl modem, and to try to see if
it is shown under '/proc/something or other/devices' (can't recall the
exact path) and that location doesn't exist for me to check under.
The speedtouch was recognised under mdk8.2 so I am wondering why it
isn't recognised in 9.0 (if indeed that is what the problem is..).
advice always welcome :)
answers even more welcomed :)
