hehe, i just realized that setserial ... as suggested by ian won't work
since it's usb.  the device is /dev/usb/acm/0, not /dev/ttyS#.
so the device being loaded is 

/lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/drivers/usb/acm.o.gz

that depends on usb-ohci, and usb-ohci depends on usb. for some
reason, when all of this stuff is dynamically loaded when i disconnect
and reconnect the modem, CDCEther is also loaded.  but rmmod-ing
CDCEther does no harm.  probably something screwy in the dependency
stuff but i'm not going into it right now since it isn't that
big a deal for now.

things work pretty well, as long as i don't try to do many (around
N<3) TCP connections "at the same time".  e.g., right now i'm slurping 
down a lot of things at an FTP site.  since only one FTP download is 
happening at a time (single threaded, sequential, not parallel), it's 
working pretty well.  when i try to surf while the FTP is downloading, 
my bad habit of opening many files in the background (i love Opera) 
seems to confuse something and eventually i get LCP send requests not 
being replied to with LCP recv replies (often within 5 minutes or
less of starting to surf).  

thanks for any help.
