You're always welcome to drop in if you're in town.

Will you be at the Olympia Linux Expo coming up soon in London?

I've seen lots of newsnet postings about BT Voyager stuff. Not read any 
of it! (I'm happily on ntl. BT is too much of a --- 'Dinosaur' (:-(( Try 
Google.

You'll have a far easier (& reliable) time using an ADSL -> Ethernet 
modem (& router). They are now very cheap, so cheap that it isn't worth 
fighting with USB.

There's even a PCI ADSL modem card available at less than £10 now. 
You'll have to check whether it is supported on linux though. I've only 
recently seen one.


Good luck,
Martin
