I am working on the same device and confirm that I can connect just fine (with ISP tin.it). However, the connection is all but relyable, since that box tend to hang for good (meaning it doesn't even respond to a ping on its ethernet address), and only power-cycling it will bring it to reason again. I'm saying this because that happens almost only when the modem is connected to a FreeBSD box, it won't behave as bad when it's connected to a Win98 machine. Anyone knows anything? Bye av.
