I used an ADSL USB modem in the UK with AOL. I got it working perfectly with EciAdsl (http://eciadsl.flashtux.org/) However, connecting to the internet always required a root user command (issued in terminal, or with a gksudo launcher on the panel). I didn't work out how to integrate it better into the system (so it would connect automatically on startup, or on USB plug-in). Hope that helps. ___________________________________________________________ NEW Yahoo!
