net/pppoa speedtouch 330 USB Bulldog ADSL FreeBSD-6.1

[Phil Cartledge]

Hi

To save your sanity and your hair, bin the usb modem, you don't want to end 
up mad and bald like me :O).   IMHO they are cheap and nasty pieces of 
equipment that relies on the windows drivers and pc to do the most of the 
work.  The majority of Broadband problems (excluding miss configuration) I 
deal with at work are caused by these usb modems - and that's running 
through Windows.  Try this product it's good value and I've had no problems 
with them, also it does not rely on drivers, just configure it over your 
favourite web browser, save the configuration and away you go. I've 
installed over 20  of these and no faults so far; 3 on Linux systems using 
Firefox - not tried on FreeBSD but don't expect any problems.

Hope this helps.
