[SWLUG] Speedtouch USB modems.

[Daniel Barbato]

I had quite a few issues with this modem under gentoo. It seems to 
behave quite well under Ubuntu warty. However if you can afford to 
splash out on an ADSL with NAT router (and possibly wifi) you might find 
it worth while, esp if you have more than one system.

I always found that internet connection coming in over ethernet was 
easier to handle than USB (NTL and Uni halls are prime examples of 
something that is 100x easier to deal with than USB ADSL under different 
flavours of linux).
