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).
