Vector Linux & USB ADSL modem problems 4771

Hi guys. I installed Vector Linux 4.3 on an old P3 866 MHz PC with 128MB RDRAM. I'm really happy with it! It is fast. Red Hat 9 was really slow...I had too little RAM that the O-S kept on having to use the swap space.

ADSL modem in Vector Linux. I will try posting this to the eagle-usb.org forums as well, but I'm not holding my breath because the place is mostly in French and the last time I asked for help there I got no replies :-(

Basically, according to the README file, the installation seems to be done through a series of scripts as below.

.-autogen.sh # only if you use a CVS version and 1.9.8 .-configure make uninstall # if you've got a previous version installed make clean make make install eagleconfig startadsl

Here's what happened when I tried:
