Thanks for that Alan.
As I've been using Linux for such a short period of time, I'm not aware of some issues that may arise and was curious (narcissistically :) - in the event I ever need to change modems) about the problems you'd been discussing.

Sorry about that (shouldn't write anything that late a night :) )
For clarity, I meant I hadn't used an Ethernet modem that connected to
a Linux box and was wondering if Al's experience was atypical, or if
it was usually a far easier and simpler exercise.
I'm pretty much an amateur but I have used two modem/routers with 3 Debian Sarge machines. The first was a NetComm 1300 Plus 4, the second a Billion 5100.
I took about 5 minutes to set up each one and never had a moment problem. The NetComm karked it after 5 months which was not so impressive, but Linux had nothing to do with that.
Cheers, Alan

Having not used a LAN modem on a Linux box, are the problems that Al is experiencing common?
