FreeBSD 5.3-RC1 + Speedtouch 330 USB

[Ted Mittelstaedt]

Marcel,

  Why are you wasting time with this when you can just buy an
Ethernet version off Ebay for under $10?  Here's some listings
for you:

If youare insistent on going with USB you might try an alcatel
Speedtouch, this is the predicessor modem.  I have one that you
can have for FREE if you want to play with it.
