Oops! You are right: trying again I get the same "Unresolved symbols"
thing :(

I don't think so: I'm trying with 2.2.14, and it's the same. After more
testing with "depmod -e ltmodem.o" to see those unresolved symbols, it
seems all of them are in the kernel (see the System.map file for your
kernel, or /proc/ksyms); also, trying with "insmod -p ltmodem" there is
no problem to load the module (from insmod man page, "this includes
locating the object file in the module path, checking version numbers,
and resolving symbols"), but the warning about versions. So, this
"Unresolved symbols" depmod message may not be a problem; anybody?

It seems you have no serial driver on your kernel :( 
(I think you need this to make ltmodem work too...)
