Use smoothwall, it works straight out of the box with the alcatel modem.

I had a go at getting it to work on a standard linux distro last year, without much success. The usb support for linux is still fairly new and though people have it working there is a lot of effort involved.

The Alcatel website has information on drivers for Linux, have you looked
there?  I'm happily using the USB modem on a Windows box, but am moving to a
setup just like yours soon as well. Will be very interested to find out how
you get on (i'm very much a linux newbie).
