From memory it is either a Sagem or a Thompson/Alcatel under the BT badge. Have a look at usbview see what the vendor id is and report back.
If it is a sagem then I think they released some (probably closed source) drivers for it.
Alcatel also have some blackbox drivers that I am using on this machine, With at least the alcatel you are out of luck with SuSE 9.1 as they don't seem to build against a 2.6 kernel, with SuSE 9 they are already packaged with the kernel (although they are in need of some tweaking to get working).
Post back with the results from usbview and I'll see what I can come up with. To be honest though none of those external ADSL modems are worth the hassle, buy a cheap ADSL router.

Sorry, been one of those days. There is a BT Voyager product that is a USB ADSL Modem, that's what I thought you were refering to.
Doh!

I just took a look online and it looks like the BT Voyager is an ethernet router... In which case I would think that pointing a web-browser from a Linux desktop at it would allow it to be configured, other than that the original question is a bit vague.
If the OP has one of these routers then I would suggest trying to connect to it with a Linux box and seeing if it works, if they are asking if they should buy one as they don't already have a router then they should ask that instead :)

"nmap" and "tcpdump" are also great for finding out how a black box reacts to ethernet.
It is possible the OP does not know the IP address of the device. If the manual does not say, then tcpdump can be used to listen to it as it boots up. The device is very likely to broadcast some ARP requests when turned on.
