Re: [plug] SpeedStream USB DSL Modem

[Gino LV . Ledesma]

I'm having conflicting reports on this one. I tried looking up the 
specifications on the SpeedStream (made by Efficient Networks) and try 
to see its difference with the SpeedTouch (made by Alcatel). 
Unfortunately, since these modems are softmodems, they rely heavily on 
the firmware/microcode loaded onto them, so it isn't just a simple 
matter of swapping one in/out and expecting any two units to be 
identically the same. Unfortunately, Efficient Networks no longer 
manufacturers these modems. *Grumble*

SpeedStream 4060 is actually made by Alcatel.

And with that, here's a link to Alcatel SpeedTouch, though I haven't 
tried it yet.
