Then it could well be that the modem is touching an address which is already in
use by some other piece of hardware, that could cause a lockup, rather like
'setserial' when used without care.

All i can say is that i compiled my own driver on the machine in question, the
sources were, ltmodem-5.78D.tar.gz you can find them at;
http://walbran.org/sean/linux/stodolsk/
This is the driver i use and it works fine for me.
All one needs to do after untarring the archive is type
'make'
then
'./ltinst'
to install it.
As i said in my origanal message i use KPPP, one thing i had to change was the
default device which KPP seems to use, the device needed by this driver is
/dev/ttyLT0 which the driver install script creates, i belive the modem used to
use /dev/ttyS14, read the README for more details. Or define /dev/modem which
should be a symlink to /dev/ttyLT0.
Oh!, a small note on CPU speeds, i am almost sure that i read somewhere that a
minimum of P11 200Mhz is needed for this modem. I say that with care as i may
have it wrong.
I would be interested in hearing from any other LTmodem users as this driver is
still under development.
Having said that word "development" that is no reason NOT to use it, it has
never locked up my machine and i am quite happy with its performance.
