That's why I have got the ltmodem sources as well as the .deb package, which remotely might, but probably won't work. Anybody know which kernel version is on Alan's machine? And if the kernel headers or sources are installed? Alan: Do you know? 'cos if you have not got either installed I'd like to use my fast Internet connection to get them for you. You know 'emerge ltmodem' looks enormously attractive after this 14 day / 5 dozen message schemozzle. :-) -- CS
