General question.  Suppose I have an LT winmodem (say it's pcmcia).  Is
it better to have an rpm postinstall script add to /etc/modules:
  lt_serial
or add to /etc/conf.modules:
  alias /dev/modem

The modules.conf entry will seemingly work better for pcmcia events, but
the modules entry seems to be adequate for pci.  Comments?
