[Gllug] Alcatel speedtouch modem: time to ditch Suse?

I've spent the best part of every evening since last Monday trying to get
this modem working with Suse 8.1 when I could have been doing some
development. All I get are LCP timeouts. I've decided not to waste any more
time with this. I now have two options:

1. Buy another modem or router (modem was free with Tiscali)
2. Ditch Suse and try Mandrake.

Suse's record of quality control IMHO is not exactly brilliant (e.g. 8.1
didn't even pick up my CD drives correctly on installation). I've heard that
Mandrake copes with the modem. Can anyone verify this?

cheers,
Peter
