Speedtouch install script error

Hello, I tried to install my "Speedtouch USB Modem" on mandrake 10 today. There where some problems with the install though. I was hoping someone could tell me what to do to finaly install my modem and get internet access on my mandrake computer.
I think the Bc error is because i didnt install a package ( I Think ) but i dont know bout the rest.

Below is an overvieuw of the error I got.

Is it the silver (rev4) modem?
Either way, dont worry about the speedtouchconf script. There's a speedtouch package on the Mandrake cds, and also install pppoatm and its stated dependancies. Then put the microcode from your ISP's cd in /usr/share/speedtouch and configure /etc/speedtouch.conf. Lastly you need to put your username and password in the /etc/ppp/pap and chat -secrets files, and check your /etc/ppp/peers/adsl has the right info.

See my success here and feel free to ask any questions if you need more details info after reading those linked threads.
