This explains:

I'm running 2.6.11 kernel so that implies just download the relevant file
(speedtouch-firmware_0.3012k_all.deb). I then did a 'dpkg -i' on this (is
that all I need to do?!??!), set up peers/demon based on above and amended
pap_secrets to end:

# OUTBOUND connections
# Here you should add your userid password to connect to your providers via
# PAP. The * means that the password is to be used for ANY host you connect
# to. Thus you do not have to worry about the foreign machine name. Just
# replace password with your password.
# If you have different providers with different passwords then you better
# remove the following line.
(none) * password
michael * [demon password]
