[ltp] another A30 and modem problem

[Daniel Bray]

I just can't seem to get my IBM A30 laptop to use the modem.  I am
running Beyond Linux From Scratch (BLFS), with kernel 2.4.22-rc2 and
acpi-20030813-2.4.22-rc2.  I have tried both slmdm-2.7.14 and
slmdm-2.7.9.  I continue to see this error message in my
/var/log/kern.log file:

---------------------------------------------

installed modem codec.
Aug 24 00:50:50 localhost kernel: Please contact your modem provider for
support.
---------------------------------------------

the last part, "
This driver is not compatible with the installed modem codec" is
repeated everytime I try to echo anything to /dev/modem.

Any suggestions?  I've looked over the list and found help to get me
this far, but it just still doesn't seem to work for me.

Thanks,
