I copied over and symlinked (to ppp.o) ppp2214.o and I also unzipped the 
linux568.zip file and copied over ltmodem.o, both to 
/lib/modules/2.2.16/misc.

The installation file makes /dev/ttyS14 and links it to /dev/modem, but I 
did not run it.

insmod ltmodem
insmod:  Kernel-module version mismatch
	/lib/modules/2.2.16/misc/ltmodem.o was compiled for kernel version 
2.2.12-20 while this kernel is version 2.2.16.

It did not insert (I checked with lsmod).

ppp2214.o was, not surprisingly, compiled for kernel 2.2.14 and won't 
insert either.

I am using the 2.2.16 kernel I compiled for myself with sound, scsi and 
framebuffer support.

Does 12-20 mean a subversion of 12, or a range of 12-20?

How on earth did you ever get this combination working with BL3.32?

What next?  I could always give up my ISA sound card and put back the 
hardware modem.  Or only go online with 2.2.26 (without scsi or USB 
support, which I don't actually need while online).  Or use an external 
modem and remember to unplug it when not in use to save power.
