    How to set up Ubuntu 6.06 on AOL [UK] Broadband with a BT Voyager 105 Modem

    Modem needs to be unplugged from USB before booting into Ubuntu.

    Copy to Home Folder:
    [I downloaded in Windows and transferred by Pen Drive.]
    pppoe_3.5-4ubuntu1_i386.deb
    eciadsl-usermode_0.11-1_i386.deb
    eciadsl-synch_bin.tar.bz2

    Install:
    Enter in terminal: [One at a time. As each installs several lines of text appear.]
    1] sudo dpkg -i pppoe_3.5-4ubuntu1_i386.deb
    2] sudo dpkg -i eciadsl-usermode_0.11-1_i386.deb
    3] sudo tar -xjvf eciadsl-synch_bin.tar.bz2 -C /etc/eciadsl/

    Reboot.

    Plug in modem.

    Enter in terminal:

    sudo eciadsl-config-text

    Enter as follows:
    user name: *******@aol.com
    password: ******
    Provider: other
    DNS1: 205.188.146.145
    DNS2: 205.188.146.145
    VPI: 0
    VCI: 38
    Modem: BT Voyager 105
    VID1/PID1/VID2/PID2: accept defaults
    Modem Chipset: GS7470
    Synch File: /etc/eciadsl/gs7470_synch03.bin
    PPP Mode: accept default
    is DCHP used? No
    is a static ip used? No

    Mode: VCM_RFC2364

    Click Create Config.
    Close terminal.

    To Start. [See * below.]
    Enter in terminal: sudo eciadsl-start

    To Stop:

    Enter in terminal: sudo eciadsl-stop

    *May need to enter 'start' then 'stop' then 'start' again in different terminals?

    [Having now been using this for some time I type sudo eciadsl-start into a terminal, leave for about 30 seconds by which time it has reached 4 out of 5 stages. I then open a second terminal and type eciadsl-stop, this is usually denied but it triggers the first terminal to connect.]
