I got the linux568.zip file with the driver ltmodem.o.
If I use your static pppd, do I still need the replacement ppp.o for 
2.2.16?

I will mknod ttyS14 c 62 78 and point eznet.conf at it for use with 2.2.16
(with different dialing script from 2.4.31 or 2.2.26 such as dial1 dial2 
dial3 in chronological order and eznet up 1 2 and 3 (0 being the DOS 
modem).

More than my desk lamp, no point in blanking it, I should turn off the 
computer when not in use instead and the blanker hides the fact that it is 
not turned off.

I got the source code for the latest ltmodem and it needs a couple of 
things that I don't have (reading the section for 2.2.16).

pstree (from SW7.1 procps.tgz, maybe also a library from there)

/usr/lib/libg++.so.2.7.28 or later - I could not find any file of this 
type in SW7.1 8.1 or 9.1 - where does it come from?  I have cxxlibs 
package from SW8.1, which contains libstdc++   -  do I need a symlink to 
it?

I have the same or later versions for other required programs, or busybox 
insmod and ps, which I hope are new enough but do not tell you their 
version numbers with -V.

I am supposed to ./build_module but of course that exited with an error.
There is a source.tar.gz in the ltmodem* directory - do I need to ungzip 
it?

Instead of using lspci, which I don't have, I did
less /proc/pci
and found a line with 11c10440 on it, which identifies this as an ltmodem
(which I already know since it works with Ken's modules).
