On the alcatel website there are drivers for Win32 Mac (Classic) and Linux. Any idea if the Linux can be compiled or another workaround?

I' m about to get an Alcatel ADSL modem in two weeks; the connection is PPPoA going through the USB modem. As far as I can find there are no drivers yet for this (a link here which is a BT unoffical FAQ.) So has anyone got a USB ADSL Modem working (PPPoE seems to be built into OSX already?, but of course BT requires me to use PPPoA via USB)

Hi,
Speed Touch USB & OS 9.1
I can't get my Alacatel Speed Touch USB DSL modem to work under 9.1. the drivers and everything work - the lights on the modem turn green (both of them) but when i try to make a connection in the remote access control panel it says "Starting PPP" for about 10-15 seconds and then a window comes up saying that the remote side is not configured properly and to check my control panels. BUT i have checked every control panel numerous times and they're all good - do you know whats the deal?

Hello
Speedtouch is a nightmare
Really, it is - a nightmare of epic proportions.
I battled for weeks trying to get the Alcatel Linux drivers working on either of my RedHat or Mandrake boxes. No joy whatsoever. Apparently, even when you can get them installed correctly, they're horribly unstable anyway. Even if you could get the Linux driver and SpeedMgmt package to compile under X, you probably wouldn't want to anyway.
However, one enterprising soul has written their own. Linux driver package for the Speedtouch USB, which is far easier to install and work with. Maybe thats a possibility under X, seeing as theres been a port for *BSD?

If thats no help, you might find helpful pointers at www.adslguide.org.uk - the forums there are especially helpful.

Hello,
ADSL USB Modem connection
Download the drivers from a company called Thomson, they seem to have taken over development of the Alacatel modem. I found the modem at the following location and just follwed it's instructions. Speedtouch USB hope it helps.
