This may be obvious to most people, but when downloading the drivers for your USB ADSL modem in OS 9 (prior to installing them in OS X) DO NOT unzip the file - if you use the OS 9 unzipped version in X the install will fail, or at least not install properly. This results in the LEDs on the modem flashing nonstop, and you will not be able to connect. Unzip in X and it works just fine.
(I found this solution on a French language site - Alcatel is a French company - and the hardest part was trying to translate the French!)
