Lucent winmodem

[Michael Perry <mperry@tsoft.com>]

HI all-

I recently purchased one of the lightweight Dell Latitude Ls laptops and
installed potato on it from boot floppies, etc.  I found out that the system
has the 3com905c tornado integrated as well as a modem by actiontec.  The
modem actually uses the lucent chipset so I downloaded the binary drivers
from lucent.  Other than a kernel version mismatch, the module loads by
forcing it and the modem finds itself at /dev/ttyS14.  Wvdial also finds it
there which is a good thing since thats what I use to dial.

So, have others used this particular driver with success?  I am traveling
all this next week and want to use either the lucent chipset or take my
trusty old pcmcia modem.  I read about some issues with dropped lines or
noisy conditions.  Anyone else use it?

Thanks.
