You will need the Alcatel firmware installed first; get it from their website
http://www.speedtouchdsl.com/support.htm
This will bring the modem to life; then you have to implement an appropriate
PPP. Other sites for this modem are
http://benoit.papillault.free.fr/speedtouch/index.en.php3http://speedtouch.sourceforge.net
but they may not be relevant if eircon use PPPoE - these are for pppoatm/pppoa
- in which case Roaring Penguin might help.
