The frog's for ADSL. Home Highway is a POTS/ISDN hybrid type thing that
these days has a USB port to connect to a built in ISDN TA.

I haven't come across anyone using it with Linux (although I'd be
interested to see if it can be done).

A search on Google doesn't bring much up.

29.html - Shows someone playing about with it. Looks like the kernel is
after a module called hisax_st5481, although I could be horribly wrong.
If that's the driver needed, another search on google hints that it may
be included with RH 7.3.
