I find this to be extremely unlikely; I have never heard of USB drivers 
for any DSL modem.  More importantly, it's bad for your soul.  USB DSL 
modems are notoriously finikey and unreliable.  The Westel is actually a 
quite nice modem, I'd strongly recommend use of the Ethernet interface 
unless there is some truly compelling reason otherwise (and I can't 
think of one).
