BT Voyager 100 on Debian Etch

[swampy]

I'm having problems setting up my BT Voyager 100 on Debian Etch (4.0 r1). The modem works on windows systems, but fails under linux with the following results:

I had previously tried this modem on a different linux system without success. Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.

Not that it helps that much, but I can confirm that in the past I have managed to use a BT Voyager USB modem, BT ISP, with PCLinuxOS http://www.pclinuxos.com/index.php using the eciadsl drivers on the PCLOS2007 iso (0.11 I seem to recall).

I used all the details on the modem page of this website to set it up.

Have you tried the older driver?

I now use a BT Voyager 220v via ethernet.
