I'm not familiar with that ADSL modem, but here are some ideas: - see www.annexia.org, there is a useful ADSL howto for Linux there (by another Richard Jones!) - search google.com for 'us west adsl linux' - search deja.com/usenet for the same - if no luck, post on a suitable linux+networking forum via deja.com Most ADSL kit runs either PPP over ATM or PPP over ethernet. So have a look for PPPoA as well. You will also need to have a look for specific drivers for your modem - at least it's a PCI model. Here in the UK our much loved national telco, BT, has chosen a USB-connected ADSL modem - amazingly enough, there is already a Linux driver for this only a few months after first release, so you may be in luck! One other idea - make sure you post in any US West support newsgroups, other local users may have solved this problem already. Richard
