Do you have the names of those usb ADSL modems that DO work with Linux,
or point me in the right direction to find out?

I am a bit disappointed to learn that there are not only 'gutless'
dial-up modems out there but 'gutless' ADSL modems as well. The way
things are going, the next time one buys a new car the engine and drive
train will need to be supplied by the 'driver' :-)

Chapter 2:  Newtonian Growth and Decay

	The growth-decay formulas were developed in the trivial fashion by
Isaac Newton's famous brother Phigg.  His idea was to provide an
equation
that would describe a quantity that would dwindle and dwindle, but never
quite reach zero.  Historically, he was merely trying to work out his
mortgage.  Another versatile equation also emerged, one which would
define
a function that would continue to grow, but never reach unity.  This
equation
can be applied to charging capacitors, over-damped springs, and the
human
race in general.
