<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I am at a crossroads…. I followed a guide to install
the modem. The terminal went through the motions and finished the installation
giving an error message that PPPoE could not be configured. It did not bother
me as I am using PPPoA.</span></font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Followed the instructions and started the modem using <b><i><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">sudo speedtouch-start</span>
</i></b>.
The terminal says that the ADSL connection is starting. Then the command line
comes back.</span></font></p>

<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I then tried to go onto the internet but cannot go anywhere.
Is there someone out there using this type of modem who has successfully installed
the USB modem and is using it o
connect to the WWW?</span></font></p>

If I remember correctly some people have had success using your
approach, but to be honest I always use the steps in the following link
and have never had any problem:<br>
