Yep, I'm using it. It serves two windows boxes and itself with fast always
on internet. The stabilty is very good (if the modem likes your machine)
i.e. I've only needed to restart the connection once this week! (and thats
was for some problems at demon's end), I get > 55K downloads so everything
working fine.
I got it working under windows first, downloaded the package off Alcatel
website, then downloaded the 3 ISO's of Mandrake 8.1. Burnt the CDs,
installed Linux (I removed my Redhat distro, Mandrake has support for the
modem out of the box) and then copied the speedmgnt.o file from Alcatel into
the correct directory (the Mandrake installer tells you where to put it).
Worked first time.
I suspect you wanted to know how to upgrade an existing Linux distro, but I
couldn't even compile the packages on RedHat 7.1 distro. Mandrake 8.1 is the
way to go for an easy life.
Bye,
Deano
