Sorry I can't try any of these suggestions. Am stuck at work. Maybe later 
tonight but probably tomorrow.

Had a look at http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/explore2fs.htm
It says that "Writing to EXT3 is not supported". Haven't really had a good 
search for alternatives though.

Sorry, confused...are you talking about the modem? What info do you need 
other than that it's a bt voyager 100 adsl usb modem? Apparently it has 
the same chipset (Globespan Vitara) as other modems which ARE supported by 
the flashtux drivers, but (for reasons I don't understand) it doesn't 
work. Google turned up nothing else. Don't really know what else to look 
for. Apparently someone is in the process of trying to modify the existing 
flashtux driver. It's not urgent, it's just a bit of a pain in the arse.
