The speedtouch modem setup code was reverse engineered many years ago from a prehistoric windows driver. Less ancient windows drivers, even those from a few years ago, perform extra initialization steps which this patch adds to the linux driver. David Woodhouse observed that this initialization along with the firmware bin/sachu3/zzzlp2.eni from the driver at http://www.speedtouch.co.uk/downloads/330/301/UK3012%20Extended.zip improves line sync speeds by about 20%. He provided the original patch, which I've modified to use symbolic names (BMaxDSL, ModemMode, ModemOption) rather than magic numbers. These names may not seem like much of an improvement (after all, what is "ModemOption" exactly?), but they do have one big advantage: they are the names used in the windows registry. I've made them available as module parameters. Thanks are due to Aurelio Arroyo, who noticed the relationship between these magic numbers and the entries in Phonebook.ini.
