 Yes.

 You can use the Linux "specific" driver for the SpeedTouch USB with your 
330 as well. Note that for other OSes the drivers are separately shown for 
both modems, but they are actually the same driver. See 
http://www.speedtouchdsl.com/support.htm or use 
http://download.ethomson.com/download/KQD6_R204.zip to avoid the annoying 
registration page.

 The Apple package is packed with StuffIt, for which you should be able to 
get a free Expander for. Iirc it contains the same firmware.

 I also see a lot of CRC errors, which I reported to this list, and for 
which I recently made a patch available. See 
http://home.hetnet.nl/~ottolander/speedtouch/speedtouch.html . This patch 
fixes these CRC errors for me.

Hope this helps,

Bye,
Leonard.
