After configuring the modem through XP laptop, I can now access the net through my Debian laptop. The connection is very glitchy - lots of 'time-outs' - but a definite improvement. At least I have access.
I'll just have to iron out the bugs, now, but it's been quite a different experience. Regards,
Weaver.
