The short answer is no, you need a 2.4 kernel to get the USB Alcatel 
Speedtouch modem to work for more info check out the url below.

To upgrade to 2.4 check out

I installed potato then upgraded modutils etc and then followed the 
instructions in the howto (Luckily I had a dual boot to Win98 to download 
everyting I needed). Anyway I got the ADSL working after a few problems (I 
still can't get hotplug to work properly) and it works like a dream  (With 
windows the connections kept stalling).

If you do attempt it I'd be happy to answer any questions that arise.

I'm running a 2.4.8-ac12 as that's the latest kernel I could get to work. The 
latest ac kernel have pppoatm but I couldn't get the module to load 
(2.4.10-ac10).

Good luck
