Alcatel SpeedTouch USB Modem - Linux Configuration : Example Session

This is a sample session, run on a machine called turing running WhiteBox Linux (effectively very similar to RedHat Enterprise Linux).
Run the script AS ROOT
user input is in bold type:

steve@turing /home/steve$ su -
Password: root-password
root@turing /root# cd /tmp
root@turing /tmp# tar xzvf speedtouchconf-dd-mm-yyyy.tar.gz

speedtouchconf-dd-mm-yyyy/
speedtouchconf-dd-mm-yyyy/ChangeLog
... etc ... many files listed

root@turing /tmp# cd speedtouchconf-dd-mm-yyyy
root@turing /tmp# cp /tmp/alcaudsl.sys .
This is your microcode - rev4fw.zip for a silver modem, 
or the path to alcaudsl.sys from your Windows software, etc.
Due to the Alcatel license, you must download this 
yourself - see Alcatel's Site.
[root@turing /tmp/speedtouch-dd-mm-yyyy]# ./speedtouchconf.sh

Cannot ping www.google.com - trying steve-parker.org by numeric IP
Looks like DNS might be iffy ... sorting it out
Fixed DNS ... it's working!
Configuration finished.
Any potential problems are listed below:
To automatically dial-in when the PC boots up : 
/usr/lib/lsb/install_initd speedtouch
Do you want to set this up now? (Yes / No)
yes
init command succeeded
You are now connected. There is no need to run this
speedtouchconf.sh script again.
Congratulations.
