[Hudlug] i have had a thought

[MICHAEL WEAVER]

I have had a thought about getting my Internet connection tempoarily working 
in Linux until I can get my desktop sorted out with Linux or buy a wireless 
Router for home use with my BT account and have both desktop and laptop 
machines networked.
Is there a way of connecting my laptop using my BT Voyager Broadband MODEM 
which Ben did manage to get working on his laptop as he was able to access 
the web with it which I normally use for my desktop machine without 
affecting my connection settings for Voxbar so I can switch between the two 
without affecting the settings for Voxbar and basically run my BT account 
until I can get Ubuntu on the Desktop so then I can do a bit more work with 
Linux and maybe in that way apt-get a copy of Speakup, Espeak, 
Speech-dispatcher etc and have a go at trying to get them installed and 
configured on the laptop?
