Hi Daniel!

If it were me and the choice was simple I would choose ethernet or wireless
rather than USB to connect a DSL modem.  Using wireless, you may do well to
purchase a USB wireless card.

Close as I have gotten to the issue I think you need to do a bit of module
installation.  See:

http://www.linux-usb.org/USB-guide/book1.html

Within that possibly

http://www.linux-usb.org/USB-guide/x555.html

or

http://www.linux-usb.org/USB-guide/x573.html

But as I read on (OK I am using Google as I go) this points to the kind of
thing that I think you need:

http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/DSL-HOWTO/speedtouchusb.html  (from:
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/DSL-HOWTO/     -- which looks to be a fair
tutorial)

With the modem there is probably a CD and on that CD will be instructions.
The USB drivers for your specific modem may not exist in the Linux world
yet.

What are you using for a modem - that would help.  What other computers are
involved and why do you want or need to use the USB port for the internet
connection?

On we go.
