Scrap the above. I got that wrong.
I give up. Stupid fucked up shit.
http://speedtouchconf.sourceforge.net/ says the following: For the silver modem, you will need the rev4fw microcode - just put this file into the same directory as the main speedtouchconf.sh script.
I have put rev4fw in the directory of speedtouchconf.sh and i get the following error:
No further user interaction is required.

The modem lights should start flashing for approx. 20 seconds...
The modem_run command failed (code 240)
modem_run results:

If you have a silver modem, make sure you're using rev4fw.zip
http://speedtouchconf.sourceforge.net/rev4fw.zip
FAILED because of modem_run error 240
What the hell does that mean?!
Absolutely fucking ridiculous. Iv spent the last 4 hours getting a measly modem working and using a method which apparently should work.
In all honesty, using Linux has really made me appreciate Windows XP.
Ridiculous.
