Firmware can be loaded only once (until the modem is unpowered)
Unplug the modem and plug it again and you could retry.

You have to understand there is many many ways to make it work.
To make short, you could use
- modem_run and pppoa3 (in both PPPoA and PPPoE mode)
- modem_run and kernel module speedtch ( with pppoatm or pppoe plugin or
pppoe usermode)
- with a 2.6 kernel module usbatm and speedtch ( with pppoatm or pppoe
plugin or pppoe usermode)

There is information to make it work on PPPoE (in old style
modem_run/pppoa3)
http://cosmos.oninetspeed.pt/jose.bernardo/speedtouch.html

Or you could look at

http://ipcop.cvs.sourceforge.net/ipcop/ipcop/src/rc.d/rc.alcatelusb?hideattic=0&revision=1.7.2.11&view=markup

This is only the first part (configure the modem), start pppd is in another
script in rc.red

First of all, thanks for the response.

Now, i know you have to shutdown the computer (i even unplug the modem just in 
case) but it doesnt work

The first page is for Mandrake, and behind a firewall... to tell you the truth, 
i dont understand half a word.

With the second page just the same, i see there is a script, but dont know WHAT 
it does or HOW to use it.
