Don't have one (the modem) ... but may have the answer. the rpm speedtouch, has howto's and the needed config files. the HTML howtos are in /usr/share/doc/speedtouch/ just urpmi speedtouch and you should get what you need. You may also need the rpm naat-backend this seems to have a file for restarting a speedtouch adsl modem. One file that should really interest you. /usr/share/doc/HOWTO/HTML/en/Linuxs-20030211/DSL-HOWTO/speedtouchusb.html this is part of the standard Howto's in English. james
