[ltp] strange locking up thanks to the modem..

[Tod Harter]

Mine seems to work great, except after I rebuilt my kernel the other day it 
now refuses to load lt_serial "on demand", but if I su and do a modprobe 
/dev/ttyLT0 it works fine from then on. Even that problem is recent and 
probably just some dumb problem I created myself when I did a rebuild. 

I have found that the lt_modem works pretty well actually. Not quite as fast 
as my USR internal in my desktop, and sometimes fails to negotiate error 
correction, but the connection seems stable.
