Hi guys, after an afternoon of struggle I got my damn Alcatel USB ADSL modem working...

Here's a very brief HOW-TO:

1. apt-get install speedtouch in the testing packages
2. in /etc/modules.conf you must add a line:
Quote
alias tty-ldisc-13 n_hdlc

3. in /etc/modules there must be:
Quote
ppp_generic
ppp_synctty
n_hdlc
usbcore
usb-uhci (or usb-ohci, it depends on your USB controller...)

4. in /etc/ppp/options
Quote
noauth
usepeerdns
lock
noipdefault

5. in /etc/ppp/peers/adsl
Quote
debug
kdebug 1
noipdefault
defaultroute
pty "/usr/sbin/pppoa3 -m 1 -c -vpi VPINUM -vci VCINUM" where VPINUM and VCINUM change in the different countries. For Italy theya re 8 and 35
sync
user YOURUSERNAMEHERE
noauth
noaccomp
nopcomp
noccp
novj
holdoff 4
persist
maxfail 25
usepeerdns

6. in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
Quote
YOURLOGIN * YOURPASSWORD

7. after that, you must start the modem with:
[QUOTE]modem_run -m -f yourmodemfirmwarelocation[CODE]
You can find this file on alcatel'official site or if you have windows installed in your programs/alcatel/driver folder
8. After about 20 secs, you can type pppd call adsl. Check if everything is ok and you're online with ifconfig ppp0. If not, check the /var/log/ folder for the log file with the errors.

Hope it helps   :)
