Modem   (Lucent WinModem) 

With that inserted modem acts it around a WinModem of the company
Lucent. This modem 
one can to functions to bring with a Kernelmodul which only as Binary to
get is. 
1. Zuallererst is to be copied  the Kernelmodul  ltmodem.o in  the
listing/ lib/modules/2.2.16/misc. 
2. The second step is to be supplemented  the file  modules.conf  in/
etc. listing around the following entry: 

# Lucent LT WinModem module 
alias char-major-62 ltmodem 
install ltmodem insmod f ltmodem 

3. The next step is to be provided  a DEVICE  modem in  the listing/
dev. Delete the old DEVICE modem before.

rm f/dev/modem 
mknod/dev/modem 62 78 
. 
4. Next the file should  become tty.h  with the following  file 
gepatched in the listing/usr/src/linux/drivers.
