Networking :: how do i set up a usb modem



I have a motorola sb5101 cable modem and i need to know how to use it through USB with DSL. Im a noob with linux so please help!!! :D
I'm trying to do the same thing with a DLink DSL 302G. I hoped that having "DSL" in the name meant it would work just fine. :p

All the configuration stuff I have found so far just tells me to use Ethernet.

I'm sure it's possible.....just need to know how.
