I am working on the same device and confirm that I can connect just fine (with ISP tin.it). 
However, the connection is all but relyable, since that box tend to hang for good (meaning   
it doesn't even respond to a ping on its ethernet address), and only power-cycling it will   
bring it to reason again. I'm saying this because that happens almost only when the modem is   
connected to a FreeBSD box, it won't behave as bad when it's connected to a Win98 machine. 
Anyone knows anything? 
 
 Bye
