I used sbc yahoo dsl for a year on slackware. When I did my activation
and configuration, I used the instructions for MacOS. Maybe you can
find those on the support site. The activation was done by form on the
web, where I created a username/password and received a set of IP
addresses. The modem shouldn't need any special kernel modules to
support the hardware, so the windows cd is basically a frisbee.
