Don't panic on my behalf, I was learning as it went along!
Yeah, keep it on list Andrew. It is a learning experience for others.
As an aside, Stuart, I'd suggest that you may be better off getting
hold of an ethernet modem or modem router. Sometimes hardware is just
pants in Linux. Not the fault of Linux but the hardware manufacturers
don't write 'driver's for Linux (some do). It's left to the community
to write drivers and it is like working in the dark if the spec's are
not known. Besides which, an ethernet router/modem would be faster
than a USB one as the USB ones take some CPU time from your main
processor. This speed increase can sometimes be phenomenal.
