Sorry, a bit of a premature end to that last email. I think I use the same chipset in the modem at work ( an old dynalink ). If it is, it is a royal pain to get working, as there are 30 or 40 different firmware images that may or may not work. I found the documentation so poor ( both of the firmware configuration and the requirements of the ISP ) that I started off with image 1, and kept on going until I got one to work. Unfortunately, that was for a telstra clear connection, so I don't think my notes will be much use to you at all.
It's a case of rtfm, reset the modem between each attempt, and be very, very patient. It does work moderately well eventually, although I've found that it's performance when it loses the connection to be slightly worse than useless ( ie, it's been down for a couple of days now, but I'm not nipping into town just to fix that! ). There's no rocket science involved, just be careful, follow the instructions, and have strong drinks nearby. hth, Steve On Mon, 17 Apr 2006 16:17:10 +1200 Steve Holdoway <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Looks like you need this... > > http://eciadsl.flashtux.org/index.php?lang=en > > Steve. > > On Mon, 17 Apr 2006 15:42:13 +1200 > Don Gould <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Bernard wrote: > > > > >Don you are right I do not want to spend money on new equiptment. > > > > > > > > DSL 200 USB and linux seems to be a common problem... > > > > http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-search.cfm?s=640307&r=4654106 > > > > Search term: DSL 200 > > > > Returns 4 hits, one of which refers to the link Chris provided. > > > > Is anyone on list running one of these modems? > > > > I saw someone had one at the last meeting... was that Bernards? > > > > Cheers Don
