Thumbs down RH 7.3 Installing DSL SpeedTouch USB modem from Alcatel (France)


Please Help !! Got to present a project on the Linux platform in 2 weeks and I'm stucked with the modem connection !

I have spent a lot of time reading and trying to understand, but I find all documentation very complex. I'm sure there must be an easier way to install this aparatus.
All docs I've come across do not specify the version they are conceived for, so I doubt that RedHat 7.3 wouldn't have simplified the process.
My Linux is running OK on my Pentium III 1Ghz (where I have also intalled and running W2K pro).
Thank you in advance. This issue must be old for many of u's but I haven't found anything on the subject for RH7.3 searching in the forums.

first get the driver from the site of Papillault

speedtouch-20011007.tar.gz
and the linux driver from alcatel

then
tar xvvzf speedtouch-20011007.tar.gz
cd speedtouch-20011007
make
make install
tar xvvzf speedmgmt.tar.gz
don't install driver
go to /etc/ppp/peers
create file adsl

chmod 700 /root/startadsl

then go to /etc/resolv.conf

and the fill in your dns-servers
nameserver 195.238.2.21
nameserver 195.238.2.22

then ./startadsl

and then you get something like this in your /tmp/pppd.log

Hi there...

i´ve a problem, too... it wont work. I tried your mini-howto and all what i´ve got is something like this:

i type ./startadsl in (at my root folder) and then the modem is blinking red then the adsl "led" is switching to green (blinking) holding the green status... and after these 30 sec. linux say

something: SI0CADDRT: No such device

I´ve a speedtouch USB 330 in red... on Suse Linux 8.1

Something like this is in my pppd.log:

using channel 3
Using interface ppp0
Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/0

hi, it was the something else... i guess the mgmt.o... but thanks a lot!

Now i´ve a script how make the work for me (mgmt.o loading, modprobe etc) and i would go online with another computer in my network, so the linux with the alcatel modem is my server (router)... I use the SuSE firewall 2 for masquarading and it works well but i have to restart the firewall every time i go offline and online again, because my firewall wont find the ppp0 ...

know somebody a cronjob who let me go online all the time like dial on demand? or a cronjob etc a cgi script who checks my connection on if the server got offline redial?

Thanks a lot!
