I replaced the slower isa modem on my Mandrake/Venus system with a pci
modem with a Lucent Technologies chip set. I'm happy with the performance
in Win95, but am having trouble in Linux (I realize that I'mn the bleeding
edge, but there do seen to be a few people out there working on the problem).
I've just downloaded ltmodem-0_9_4-1.tar.gz.
Here's the make log:

In spite of the warning (which I don't understand) I ran make install. The
log is:

When I attempted to dial in to my ISP I got the following:
ltmodem version 0.9.4
00:14.0 Communication controller: Lucent Microelectronics Unknown 56K Modem

# Initializing modem... Resetting modem...

Is it possible to get ltmodem to work? Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
