NAME
       modem_run - SpeedTouch USB and SpeedTouch 330 firmware loader

SYNOPSIS
       modem_run [OPTION]... -f firmware_file

DESCRIPTION
       This  program  loads  the  firmware  contained  in firmware_file into a
       SpeedTouch USB modem. Then a monitoring	daemon	is  left  running.  On
       Linux  based  systems, this daemon can be used to inform the "speedtch"
       module about the adsl link state.

OPTIONS
       -f firmware_file
	      Specifies the file containing the firmware code of the modem.

       -a boot_file
	      Specifies the file containing the boot code of the modem.

       -b     Enables the use of the modem's "software buffering"  mode.  This
	      option seems to cause state line instability.

       -d device
	      Defines  which  USB  device should be used as the SpeedTouch USB
	      modem. On Linux, this is something  like	/proc/bus/usb/003/006.
	      Usefull when using more than one modem on the same machine.

       -i seconds
	      Defines  the time between each device state polling. The default
	      is 10s.

       -k     Enables "speedtch" Linux kernel module coupling.	If  the	 state
	      line goes up or down, then the module is informed through a spe‐
	      cial ioctl call.

       -n number
	      Number of firmware upload tries before failure is reported.

       -r number
	      Forces a specific modem revision. Valid values range from	 0  to
	      4. Default is autodetection.

       -s     Skips  the  first	 512 bytes read (if you have a bulk read error
	      512 bytes on startup try this option)

       -t seconds
	      Sets the sychronization timeout in seconds. The default is 120s.

       -v number
	      Verbosity level
		  - 0 Error messages
		  - 1 level 0 + State messages
		  - 2 level 1 + USB packet dumping

       --help display this help and exit

DEPRECATED
       -m     This option used to be specified to make modem_run  monitor  the
	      state  line  in a background process (daemon). As the monitoring
	      seems to be mandatory, this option has been removed.

RETURN VALUES
       0 if the firmware file has been successfully loaded into SpeedTouch USB
       modem and adsl link has gone up.

       For all failure cases, exit status is not equal to 0.

       If  modem_run fails to load the firmware, try to run modem_run with the
       -v 1 or -v 2 option, this can help you finding out the failure reason.
