Aha!  Precisely.  Now to go make it configure at boot. :^)  And Stewart, you 
can add to your page that this still works with current systems, cups, 
foomatic/gimp-print drivers, etc, and with an Epson Stylus Photo 700.  And 
note that your serial port assignments on the page are correct, modem port is 
ttyS0 and printer port is ttyS1.  Thanks again!  One thing conquered, now to 
get ALSA to compile.  :^)
