CHAPTER 8 GETTING EVERYTHING UP AND RUNNING 93 Figure 8-6. If you use an Alcatel SpeedTouch USB modem, you can get online with just a little configuration work. Setting Up a BT Voyager USB ADSL Modem The instructions in this section will work with all USB models of the Voyager modem, up to Voyager 105. If you have a Voyager 205, which includes both USB and router functionality, you re strongly advised to connect via Ethernet instead of USB. This simply involves running a Cat 5 cable from your PC s Ethernet port to one of the Ethernet inputs on the Voyager modem, and then following the instructions to configure a DHCP Ethernet connection, presented earlier in this chapter. You ll need to download a package file, so you must go online by some other means, perhaps via dial-up (see the previous section). Alternatively, you might grab the files on a different computer and transfer them onto your Ubuntu system via a floppy disk or USB memory stick (see the Using a USB Memory Stick section later in this chapter). Follow these steps to set up a BT Voyager modem: 1. Visit http://eciadsl.flashtux.org/download/ and download the eciadsl-synch_bin. tar.bz2 file to your /home directory. 2. At the same download site, grab the latest version of the eciadsl-usermode file that has an .i386.deb file extension. The version numbers appear in the middle of the filename. At the time of writing, the latest version was eciadsl-usermode_0.11-1.i386.deb. Create a new directory within your /home directory called packagesand download it there. 3. Visit http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/r/rp-pppoe/ and download the latest version of the pppoe file (not rp-pppoe!) that has an .i386.deb file extension. At the time of writing, this was pppoe_3.5-4ubuntu1_i386.deb. Save it into the packages directory you created earlier.
