What changed was I made /dev/ttyLT0 wrong.  Please include /dev/ttyLT0 in 
future BL's.  Lucent modems are the only winmodems I have got to work 
(having tried jaton and pctel as well) and they are common, even found in 
one of our laptops.

I found the two lt modules at the BL site.

Does anyone want any other devices added?

One solution to using BL3 with USB storage is to boot with David Moberg's 
1-floppy USB linux and transfer files to ext2 with it before rebooting (or 
chrooting) to BL3.  Or if you have DOS on the computer, use a DOS boot 
disk with USB capabilities (except it won't work with my SM card reader). 
Win98 will do USB storage if you add nusb23e.exe.

Can one make a 2.4 kernel smaller by hand-editing the source code?
