Mepis 3.3 & The Silver SpeedTouch 330 USB Modem

Hi,

Sorry if this topic has been covered before but I'm only on my second day with my first Linux distro. A n00b you may say, and in need of some help.

On booting up Mepis 3.3 I've noticed that my modem (Silver, Speedtouch 330)is recognised, and from my n00b point-of-view it's recognised on all of the USB ports. However, I don't know how to install/configure it so that I can use it.

I've read through a few so-called guides on installation but I'm still lost.

So, if it's no trouble I'd like to ask

a.) Are the required drivers/firmware etc included in Mepis 3.3?
b.) If so, How do I configure the modem for usage?
c.) If not, What exactly do I download?
d.) How do I install everything? (Step by Step would be great. I'd also need help with the Konsole if that's needed for installation)

Many thanks in advance.
