The modems that I have direct experience of do not have ethernet - they've been models of the SpeedTouch USB modem (the 320 and the 330)
Yes, it's a speedTouch 330
If it is a SpeedTouch there is a user space driver (apt-get install speedtouch). Therre are hundreds of places around the web that explain how to do speedtouch and debian.
I'm running unstable and the package info seems to imply I don't need to add anything...
Basically the modem behaves in a very similar fashion to a normal dial-up modem: i.e. you have to set up ppp.
I thought i had this... but it dhcpdiscover (IIRC) tries a couple of things during boot and then quits...
Unfortunately, I can't track down anything right now as I'm cooking tea for the wife and me. Will definitely get back to you later this evening if you haven't succeeded on your own.
No probs...Thanks, M
