If you have problems try it this way...
- Firmware (mgmt.o) in /usr/share/speedtouch/ (ALREADY DONE)
- Run through dragconnect wizard and put all your ISP details in (PROBABLY
ALREADY DONE)
- Goto command line and type: /usr/share/speedtouch/speedtouch.sh start
- ('/usr/share/speedtouch/speedtouch.sh stop' to close connection)
I can't connect directly through the wizard, but it always works from the
command line.

Lee,
I have since upgraded from 9.2 to 10, and it shouldnt have really changed
things much. However, I have my connection set to start at boot, both green
lights began to flash on my modem, (as is normal), and then the ADSL light
went yellow, and that was it, a failure message.
I'm going to try setting it up with the Speedtouch package from the 9.2
Distro. The modem firmware code is the same as I have always used.
Like you said, 9.2 is now history on this box..... so if I cant get things
to go my way, I'll reinstall 9.2, and let a Linux guru buddy of mine have a
play with it at a later date.
