I have managed to do this using an existing installation of redhat which |
| 9 |
had the modem working. See the README.maintainer in the build bz.gz on |
| 10 |
the install cd. |
| 11 |
Getting it to work from scratch without a existing installation should |
| 12 |
be possible if the kernel has the n_hdlc module included and the |
| 13 |
revelant ppp tools/modules. You would have to compile the Alcaltel USB |
| 14 |
ADSL modem somehow, probably using the gcc on the instal cd. |

Best of luck |
