The best thing to do, in my opinion, is to buy an ethernet modem (which is not expensive). With ethernet modems, you will not have any problems with your ADSL connection./SNIP Paul, It worked fine under 9.2, 10 RC1 didnt have the chance, as it only lasted 45 mins before I reinstalled 9.2, 10CE was a bit of a pain in the butt to get it to go, but it ran eventually, but 10 Official is a complete no go. The drivers are on the distro, so theoretically, it should work.. I'm currently stuck in windows XP (ggg), my idea of hell, and I want to get it running on Mandrake, as I'm just fed up of reinstalling stuff now... I havent found a cheap ethernet setup yet, here in the UK (we are 10 times more expensive then the rest of the world!), and until I can find one, I'm stuck with the USB. I tried Red Hat 9 tonight, and that has no provision for USB ADSL at all (or not that I could see, anyway), so Mandrake is still ahead of RH in my book.

Paul I am coming into this thread late, but I have speedtouch USB working on Mdk 10.0 official at one of my clients premises OK (USB Vendor Id: 06b9,Product Id: 4061) I am using the 2.4.25-2mdk kernel, It did not work with the 2.6 kernel, and since I was doing a remote install I could not work out why not. /etc/ppp/peers/adsl contains noauth noipdefault pty /usr/sbin/pppoa3 -m 1 -c -vpi 0 -vci 38 sync kdebug 1 noaccomp nopcomp noccp novj holdoff 4 maxfail 25 persist usepeerdns defaultroute user [EMAIL PROTECTED] (The vpi/vci numbers in this file are good for all DSL in the UK) /etc/ppp/pap-secrets and /etc/ppp/chap-secrets both contain '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' * 'password' * /etc/speedtouch.conf contains MICROCODE_DIR=/usr/share/speedtouch MODEM_RUN_OPTIONS= PEER=adsl CONFIGURED=1 Thats all I need to have speedtouch start automatically on booting.
