British Telecom requires you to connect via a Dial-up adapter through the
Alcatel USB modem - the problem I have is that I believe USB support below 2.4
kernal is not ver reliable, also I have tried to follow Linux How-to's for USB
configuration, but have not managed to get Linux to see or dial from the USB
modem.
Of course, everything works fine in Windoz's ! - So at the moment I am using
Windoz's XP professional and an internet sharing program called solid share, I
then run my linux box across the local LAN

Hi Guys
I have just had ADSL installed, when configuring SNF, the menu does not allow
you to enter a phone number - I need to enter phone number to connect to BT
Open
World
Is this because I have the USB router ? - BT are going to allocate static IP
addresses shortly to USB users if you want them, so I would like to configure
SNF to run off of my connection
Any ideas please

Hi there,
Usually one doesn't need the provider phone number in order to be able to
use the ADSL modem.
My question is :
can you connect to your provider using Linux (not SNF) ? If you can, then
it will be piece of cake to make SNF connect too ...
Your configuration is quite specific to your provider ...
sincerely,
