Has anyone managed to get the Alcatel USB speedtouch modem working with Suse
8.1? I got it recognised on bootup and the speedmgmt daemon started and the
modem initialised (although in the last half hour with my messing about,
this now doesn't happen). In all cases when I connect I just get LCP
timeouts. I seem to be going round in circles trying various howtos,
starting the connection manually with a script or with kinternet. In all
cases the modem sends out packets but nothing is ever received. Lately, with
kinternet, the entire system hangs, with the keyboard lights flashing on and
off. I've tried the procedure on the Suse web site (modifying the speedtouch
config file) but to no avail.

My broadband ISP is Tiscali in the UK.

Perhaps I've messed up the PPP and/or hotplug files. I'm having to connect
my old 56K USB modem to download email which is a pain.

Any help and/or configuration files appreciated :)

Cheers,
Peter
