Hi Alain,
You could also try a Pulsar PCI ADSL modem, as these are quite stable.
However my opinion is biased because I work on the development team.
You can pick one up on special for GBP 49 from...
www.msdist.co.uk
I wrote the compile engine at http://adsl4linux.no-ip.org which will
compile a Linux driver for any 2.4 kernel.
I am also working on a GPL release of the driver.
Cheers,
- Guy.
