Thanks.  I do have some unrelated problems with Wi-fi so that might come
in handy when I try to solve the key ones.

About the modem, it should set itself up to appear as regular ethernet.
 I'm still trying to figure out what is needed to get it to connect
automatically in Lubuntu like it did in Kubuntu.  One clue I was pointed
at was the utility modem-manager, but that seems to be installed and
running.
