I thought 2.2.5 was five years old by now, and uclibc was planning to stay 
more up to date (but maybe not support the more uncommon hardware).
In which case I could add uclibc.so and compile dynamically against it and 
it could be used with BL3 and BL2.

Dynamic against other libraries which were compiled statically against 
uclibc?  Or does it have to be static against everything (libjpeg, libz, 
libncurses, etc.)?  I am really only interested in compiling for BL2.

They were 33.3K, upgradeable to X2 only.  The upgrade converted them to 
functionally 28.8K.

PCTel is also supposed to be a linmodem and I saw one somewhere.
If we can connect with the neighbor's broadband at one of our three 
locations we should have enough 56K hardware modems for the other two.
