Dear Ian,
 
Welcome to ubuntu forum list. I know this isn't very helpful but you might want to consider getting a real ethernet modem/router, these are virtually trouble free to set up on any OS.

I looked in the Synaptic dialog under Networking but no eagle-usb-data there or under any other selection either.
 
Trouble for me is, I can't ask it to download anything cause I don't have a connection on the Ubuntu side.
 
 That also makes it difficult or at least very slow and frought witrh error when everyone here kindly suggests code that will do the trick, I have to print it out in XP and then log into Ubuntu to key it in.
 
So far I still have not connection so I am not doing something right, but what?

Hi Ian, welcome to Ubuntu.
 
Ubuntu supports the Sagem 800 modem.
 
Select System > Administration > Synaptic
Select Networking
Go down to eagle-usb-data and eagle-usb-utils and install these.
Follow the instructions and you should be OK.
 
Best wishes, Ron
