I found the following messages on a web petition for a
Linux driver for an Alcatel Speed Touch USB ADSL driver.
:338 - R. C. Lewis - 2001-01-24 22:26:43
:I have successfuly attained a stable Internet connection with BT Openworld
:and the Alcatel Speedtouch USB modem under Linux 2.4 after hacking on the
:CVS of WINE (www.winehq.com) for a couple of hours. All you have to do
:is load up the appropriate dynamically linked libraries and put together
:a small bridge utility to get the Linux network stack to recognise it.
:Unfortunately, my employer forbits me from releasing applications or
:source outside my employment, but I hope that people out there will be
:able to replicate my efforts.
The petition is here:

The windows driver is her:
http://www.alcatel.com/consumer/dsl/supuser.htm
It implements PPPoA.
Could anyone guess what R. C. Lewis might have done exactly, and suggest
how his results might be reproduced?
Thanks,
Paul
