Also, being USB powered and therefore limited to 500mA, it cannot
always provide sufficient output power to cope with a bad line. Again,
a router with a decent power supply would have no problem with that.

And yes, as Kenny points out. Canonical provides commercial support for
Ubuntu. So big business can run it and have assurances that if something
goes wrong, they can point the Finger of Blame at someone and get it fixed.

Thanks again, Alex -
When I DO get a modem Router, I just hope getting the linux box to recognise it
won't be too much of a hassle!

make sure they're modem routers and not just routers. "Just routers"
are boxes you plug your existing modem into. You don't want this. You
want a router with the mode
oh aye, and make sure it's a MODEM/ROUTER and not just a router.

Thanks Kyle, for the link and the heads-up!
There was so much information on the page that I haven't tried to follow what
it suggests -
I think it requires that I download the firmware for the Speed Touch and burn
it to a CD and then run that CD on the Ubuntu box in order to configure the

They're shit. Throw them away. Seriously. They barely work
Hey Paul,
Did you go through the document that I linked to? If so, where did it
fail? What error messages did you encounter?
It would be great if Ubuntu could provide the documentation that you're
after, but we're often lucky if the device works at all. If
manufacturers consistently fail to provi
Dear Kyle,
Thank you for the concrete help/link, and the heads-up(!) on Linux

Hi Paul,
This is the first that you mention the Speedtouch 330. All previous
opinions were based on the BT Voyager which you mention (of which I know
of at least 4 different models).
I never used my Speedtouch, I handed it away on Freecycle. I do recall
setting one up about 6 years ago for a frie
I can't find any pages about this in Firefox or Gnome..
(nor do I see the initials "RTFM" (and what do they mean, anyway?)
I would have thought that "RTFM" would be a topic or a term in the glossary,
but so far I can't find it in UBUNTU.)
RTFM stands for 'Read The F
Hi Kyle ! (and all...)As I say in the first post, the modem which is on this

to make work with the linux box.And the problem
