    It sounds very much like you're missing the firmware for the modem. All the
    software you need to get your Linux box working with your Speedtouch modem
    is open source, but the actual firmware for operating the modem is
    proprietry.

    If you go to the Alcatel website you should be able to download the 'mgmt.o'
    file from the support part of the site which is what your modem needs to
    run. If you then put it in the correct place (where escapes me but you
    should find it in a howto) then it should get loaded as part of the
    connection procedure.

    Good luck!

    Scott.
