A quick search at www.google.com [USB DSL Modem linux]
Comes up with the following

USB modems will require vendor and model specific drivers in order to sync 
and function properly. Assuming you are using the Alcatel SpeedTouch USB, 
this will require both a binary firmware driver available from Alcatel's 
driver page: http://www.alcatel.com/consumer/dsl/supuser.htm#driver, and an 
additional modem driver. As well as a properly configured kernel.
This driver also supports both PPPoE and PPPoA, though the steps for 
getting either to work are quite different. See the Appendix for more on 
this modem.

I use the Ethernet Modem, it cost an extra $145 - to upgrade to it with 
iinet - my preferred option ;)
