You mean the Speedtouchen? All three Speedtouch USB models - the green frog/stingray, the purple 330 and the silver 330 - are supported very well under Linux, and have been for years. I don't think it's unreasonable to say a lot of the success garnered by SmoothWall was on the back of Speedtouch frog support after ADSL got more widespread in 2001. -- _ __/| William Anderson | "There's something about records which is \`O_o' neuro at well dot com | really satisfying." =(_ _)= http://neuro.me.uk/ | -- John Peel (1939 - 2004) U - Thhbt!
