Hi All,
I'm a linux newbie who's trying to get speedtouch working on GNU Musix 0.5 distro, which is based upon Knoppix (info: http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=musix) - it has been installed and works like a dream on my laptop. I've tried searching the FAQ and archive but still a bit lost, so please bear with me. Having read the notes on the site I have done the firmware-extraction and installation, and my system now appears to be 'speedtouch aware', in as much as that the usb-viewer shows a speedtouch modem connected. And if I try "apropos usb" or "apropos modem" (as suggested by friend) .. I can read man pages for commands that know all about Speedtouch, (modem_run and pppoa3 etc.) but I do not understand them. The problem is, I don't really know what to do after this. I can see there are notes for other distros... Fedora, Ubunto, Suse etc.. and they all give rather similar, yet differing accounts of "PPPD" configuration. So my problem is .. i think ... "How do I go about configuring pppd for my distro?" Are any of the listed distros on the Speedtouch front page close enough to my own to be able use their howto? for reference: My ISP is UK, virgin.net IP Addressing: dynamically assigned IP address VPI: 0 VCI: 38 Connection type: PPPoA Encapsulation: VC-MUX Authentication method: CHAP Many thanks for any suggestions, pointers, or help given.
