<html><body><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><font size="2">Hi folks,<br>
<br>
Glasiad here from Bridgend area. Been using Linux OS's for about a year
now. Different distros. Currently I have SuSE 9.3 on one box and Mepis
on another. OK, intro over. Now to my subject / problem:<br>
<br>
Been connecting to the internet via broadband adsl using
speedtouch modems configured with the help of Steve Parker's script
posted on sourceforge<span style="font-style: italic;">. </span>No
problems. But then both my speedtouch modems burnt out in one week and
the only replacement I could find locally in a pinch was an "eTec" adsl
usb modem that included drivers for Windows on a cd but nothing else.
Unable to find much on the Net to help. So now I've no choice but
to use a Windows OS for internet use. <br>
<br>
So, my questions:<br>
<br>
Does anyone on this list have any experience with eTec adsl modems and can they be configured to work with a Linux OS? <br>
<br>
If the answer is no to either or both parts of that question, what may
I ask is an easy and affordable solution to getting a Linux box hooked
up to the internet available to us here in Wales? <br>
<br>
hwyl!<br>
