So, I just retry to use the way explain here :
 http://www.linux-usb.org/SpeedTouch/
and I don't succeed
It seems that the howto page is too old
the pppd I should use is a bit old too (several year)
when I try to run pppd, it tells me "illegal instruction" (but I follow
closely the documentation
The doc says that modem_run work, but it don't work for me (it tells me
another instance is running when speedtch is loaded)

So, I'm bored to make it works whereas speedtouch.sourceforge.net is a great
project which have made my life easier for several years  ;)
I decide to not try again to use other solutions. If futur kernels don't work
with my modem, I keep on using older kernel anyway, like test2-mm1

The usb problem I got is fixed in test4-mm1 : good thing

Cordially.
