Hi,
After several false starts, I have finally learned how to produce a
Slackware package for the Lucent "linmodem".  It installs perfectly
on a "fresh" loop installation of BL-3.40.  Neither bash or the full
modutils package is needed, as the script is portable and "depmod" is
included. It is necessary that "pppsetup" be told to use "/dev/modem"
and that the following two lines be added to "/etc/rc":
        
        insmod lt_modem
        insmod lt_serial
        
I was too much of a coward to try to modify an existing script that
could have already been changed.  Since I do not have access to any
other PC with a Lucent modem, reports of success or failure would be
greatly appreciated.
