[ltp] Dial Modem use with T20 Thinkpad

[Chris Schumann]

You should be able to find a PCCard modem for about a nickel on eBay. 
Those generally work really well with Linux, as they present another 
serial port. You may have to disable the unused (real) serial port, FWIW.

Otherwise any true serial modem will work just fine.
