If you are brave you can try turning it into a OfficeConnect Remote 812
router instead (disables the usb port):

I remember that a friend who had one needed to update the
software/firmware before everything worked ok. Not sure of the procedure
though.

Subject: 3Com Home Connect: fill me in
Hi Everyone,
I've had a good look through the list archives but cannot quite find
what I'm after.
Situation: I have a 3Com HomeConnect Dual Link modem & Windows 2000.
Jetstream was installed yesterday.
I have two problems, which I think are separate, but which may be
related.
1) Occasionaly the modem seems to have trouble finding the ADSL cirucit
(the little LED blinks orange instead of being green) -- in fact most of
last night it was doing this, but most of today it has found the
circuit.
2) Every 3-5 minutes, especially with inactivity, I am disconnected --
or rather the link becomes unusable and eventually the dialler notices
and tries to reconnect. While I am connected, the link works great. I
have tried using the RASPPPOE dialler which is much nicer than 3Com's
but still has the same problem. Craig Whitmore very kindly mentioned
something about the LCP setting, but I cannot work out where to change
this setting in the registry.
I have tried 3Com support, which was laughable. After many hours talking
to Telecom/Xtra, a Telecom service person is coming to "check the line"
in a few days (may help resolve issue 1). 
Any help on issue 2) would be most appreciated -- I know it has been
discussed here before, but not for sometime. I'm hoping there is some
consensus on resolution.
Cheers,
David Lilienthal.
