    I eventually managed to track down a phone number for the people who
    make it and was told that it would only work on Windows. So it's being
    returned to the dealers. I've managed to track down a Binatone modem
    which has been recommended by a couple of Linux users and their website
    actually says that it works on Linux so I'm getting that tomorrow. With
    any luck I'll be on line then...

    Thanks to everyone here for advice; I wouldn't have got even this far
    without it and wouldn't know how to begin with another router.
