[NTLUG:Discuss] USB DSL Problem

[Pervaz Allaudin]

Thanks for your interest and I have it working.

Earlier I meant Windows 98 recognizes it and connects ok and it works.

I found the solution off google - Actually figuring out the right one 
was a problem.

Also the Modem was a Bell South recognised Modem - which they list in 
the do-it-yourself site for DSL.

I can send you the one or two page for procedure I found helpful (one 
did not work)- if you want.

But thanks anyhow.
