 If this is the case, then if you are able, you might want to consider
 ditching USB and opting for an ethernet modem (you can get them at about
 the same cost as a new USB, and I should also imagine  you could get
 hold of one easy enough through eBay etc. going ethernet means no
 drivers are required  and your connection takes only a few minutes.

    I would endorse that as I was using a USB connection for Blueyonder
broadband with Mandrake with intermittent success, but then I plugged
an ethernet cable into the SA Webstar modem & removed the USB
(power down the modem & power it up again BTW) and it worked straight
away & has ever since.
Like mine, your modem may already have an ethernet conncection available.
