I have to agree with glen, I have been down that road of mega frustration trying to get a USB modem to run on Linux. Though, I see that other people have had more success than me.
I have used both the modems Glen suggested but have found DLink to be less glitchy. They have built in firewall features (though basic) and also a dhcp server. As I understand it (though someone with more knowledge can correct me) that this type of firewall is more efficient and secure. As one engineer once told me "you don't get any prizes by finding the hardest way to do something". Regards Phill O'Flynn Muse-Tech --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
