hmmm. I'm running 2.4.19. I know it worked fine with 2.4.9, and 2.4.16 - .18,
but I actually don't have a use for it anymore (I live in an off-grid cottage
where I have to use a serial port cell-modem) so I can't guarantee it's working
on 2.4.19. I loaded the ltmodem sources and then use the debian build scripts
to build the ltmodem*.deb for each kernel upgrade.
