Hello Andrew,
I have a Sceptre 6600 Notebook with a Lucent PCI Winmodem. I was not
successful with kernel 2.2.15, so I made a 2.2.12 image and modules to try
with the modem. I'm running the latest potato.
I installed the Lucent module file manually in the modules directory. I
put the ltinst script in /usr/local/bin, and I may have modified it to
prevent delection of ltmodem.o from the modules directory. Anyway, it
works. Not every time, but nearly everytime. Unfortunately, using the
modem still causes occaisonaly hardware lockups, and the module has never
been willing to unload. However, I have to say I'm happy. It saved me the
cost and the higher power consumption of a hardware pcmcia modem. During
the day I use a pcmcia ethernet adapter with the same machine.
Like I said, try it with a different kernel. BTW, I added the ESS Maestro
module to the 2.2.12 source tree, and I have both the sound and the modem
working simultaneously--they share the same IRQ (5). It was necessary to
enable serial IRQ sharing in the kernel.
Good Luck.
Syrus.
