Winmodem installation OK

[Marvin Stodolsky <stodolsk@erols.com>]

Just wanted to report the successfull installation of  WINMODEM function
on a Compaq Armada 1500c laptop.
This laptop comes with an internal modem described as a

Compaq Armada 56K V90

but which  Roger J. Allen <rja@sis.rpslmc.edu> related  (for a later
Armada model) is a winmodem with the Lucent Tech chip.
Thus use was attempted of the linux586.zip kit downloaded from
http://www.linmodems.org .

This kit makes a /dev/ttyS14  node  and supplies a Lucent alpha binary
     ltmodem.o
which had been compiled under  kernel-source-2.2.12.
  CONFIG_MODVERSIONS   Yes
was chosen during compilation of my 2.2.14 module, to allow use of the
2.2.12 version module.
Forcing (-f) is still needed  to install the module:
        insmod  -f  ltmodem
With changes
      ln -sf /dev/ttyS14  /dev/modem
and the ttyS  specification in
    /etc/ppp/peers/provider

the establishment of  PPP connection via the winmodem was troublefree.
