Friend has signed up. usb modem and cd arrived, line actvated
and checked by BT

Is this a completely new ADSL Connection on that Phone Line?

yes, but BT have checked it

What Make & Model of Modem is it?
No idea

Can you find out what the actual Error Message was?
& also, at what point "part way through" in the Installation it
failed.

I tried but understandably he was a bit punch drunk by that tme, the
help line person had given him lots of instructions and he had forgotten
what it was he had done

<huge snip>

Next time he is at his Dad's I will get his Dad to try connecting it to
the router there, via the ethernet cable. If we can do that then I can
use net meeting to 'see' it and have a better idea of what is what.
