hi, i have a USB alcatel speedtouch 330 for adsl connection. Downloaded speedtouchconf-2.0-beta1_20-Apr-2005.tar.gz and the firmware for the silver edition modem from
http://speedtouchconf.sourceforge.net/.
Googled for more info about this modem and the general idea is: alcatel USB modem (or any other usb modems) is no good, better buy some modem with rj45 connection and connect via eth0. Since i dont have any $$$ to buy a new modem and this one was for free i've diced to give it a try.
So, uncompressed speedtouchconf-2.0-beta1_20-Apr-2005.tar.gz, copied the zipped firmware and ran speedtouchconf.sh.
The result was this:
Configuring SpeedTouch Driver...
Software Configuration - SUCCESS
Building SpeedTouch Driver...
Software Build - SUCCESS
Installing SpeedTouch Driver...
Software Installation - SUCCESS
Creating ppp files in /etc/ppp
You can ignore any insmod hints here...
*** Configuration finished. Starting the connection ***

The modem lights should start flashing for approx. 60 seconds...
You might see some messages about USBDEVFS_BULK failed - you can ignore this.
Sun Apr 24 01:14:52 WEST 2005
The lights should both be solid green now.
Running : /usr/sbin/pppd call adsl
Called pppd - you should see some messages about IP addresses now...

*********************************
* Don't seem to have connected. *

Please check the username and password in /etc/ppp/*-secrets.
Also check the VPI/VCI in /etc/ppp/peers/adsl
You could try removing the following files first:
/var/run/ppp0.pid
Then run /etc/rc.d/speedtouch start
can any one help me out on this
or... should i definitely buy a new modem?
thanks
