I have a Sagem Fast 800 USB here that sort of works, it's good enough for me when I'm home, but not reliable enough for a server, sometimes it loses connection and then (of course) the machine can no longer be reached from outside. If I really needed to I could try a newer driver and/or a watchdog that restarts it, though.
