Thanks for you response
The modem I have is Alcatel Speed Touch Home ISDN Network Modem, and
connected to LRP via Ethernet Cable, not USB.
I have not been able to get the information regarding which protocol is
used, PPP, PPPoE or What, but I�m still working on it.
I got the following information from the ISP. With this information in
the given places, I lack the knowledge how to test the modem, if it is
connected or not.
1. I can ping the modem.
2. I can ping the HUB.
3. I can�t ping the outside world because I have not been accepted by
the ISP, I have no connection to the outside world.
Information given by the ISP
Start-----
/etc/hosts
10.0.0.138 alcatel <the modems IP number>
/etc/ppp/options
noipdefault
name "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <simnet.is is the actual ISP>
noauth
defaultroute
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets
[EMAIL PROTECTED] alcatel password
/etc/resolv.conf
domain simnet.is
nameserver 194.105.224.1
nameserver 194.105.277.20
End-----
These are the lines that are to be included in the given filenames. The
next step would be to connect through the modem with the command:
pptp alcatel
whereafter I should be able to ping what ever address on the internet.
That pptp is not available.

You do not tell us which variety of speedtouch ADSL Modem
version you have. Be careful to load the USB modules if
you have got the USB version.
AFAIK this modem requires a special driver. Check:
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/DSL-HOWTO/speedtouchusb.html
You also need to know the type of connection you will
need to talk to your modem. Speedtouch supports both
PPPoE and PPPoA but you have to check the one which is
supported by your ISP. Bering supports both types of
connection.
Let me know the precise reference of your modem.
http://www.speedtouchdsl.com/homeprod.htm
Let me know the type of connection you need to use (PPPoE
or PPPoA) and I will compile the driver (if required) for
you and help you to setup your connection. This is a very
popular modem here in Europe and could be useful to some
other folks.
