    First question - Do you have Linux Drivers for the Modem? :blink

    You will need these before you do anything more.

    On the CD does it have a folder saying Linux on it? This is where I would expect to find them.

    If the CD doesn't have them have a look at the Alcatel website to see if there are Linux drivers for you specific model.

    A quick google with the search string "alcatel speedtouch Linux driver" produced this which may be what you want.
