Hi,
I'm connecting using ADSL and a Alcatel Speedtouch USB modem and it works
brilliantly although it was a pain getting it set up. There is a GPL driver
for it and Alcatel have released a binary management application which you
have to download from their website. For more info -
http://linux-usb.sourceforge.net/SpeedTouch/
2.4.15 kernel includes pppoatm so you don't need to patch the kernel anymore.
I had a bit of trouble getting hotpluging working with Debian (worked with
Redhat) but got it working eventually so if you need anymore info just say.
Nick
