I don´t know about linux+USB+networking, but we have extensively tested
the Alcatel Speed Touch here in .at-land, where the ISPs all have to
resell $quasimonopolytelcos ADSL, which has equipped the whole country
with Alcatel Speed Touch´s. You´re better off with the NIC-version, if
the telco requires you to set up PPTP/IP to the modem, it is afaik
you´re only option with linux anyway. It´s also a fact that 802.3
(ethernet) networking is proven and stable with linux, and USB is
quite new, so you may want to consider that also...
