Hi, without any doubt choising a ADSL ethernet modem is the best way or at least the easiest. However I don't share the LET IT BE attitude used towards USB modems. If they exist and are widely used the comunity should increase efforts to devolop drivers inspite of renounce. So I suggest you to try the ECIADSL drivers developped for ADSL USB modems http://eciadsl.flashtux.org/ and to try the site of www.linuxdesktop.it for more infos http://www.linuxdesktop.it/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=162 you'll find more drivers for the Speedtouch.
