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).
