Getting the "ltserial" modem to work was relatively easy.

Going through the Mandriva Control Center wizard with Mandriva 2006, the modem was recognized, but it expects me to install a "ltmodem-kernel" package from an external source.

Since this package wasn't found, I was not able to complete the wizard and manage the modem through through the Mandriva Control Center. It can work fine despite this.

There's a thread at LinuxQuestions.org with details. The ALK packages they reference are here.

After rebooting, /dev/modem may disappear. One solution to that is referencing /dev/ttyLTM0 directly for the modem device, instead of trying to figure how to keep that symbolic link intact.


The modem is [http://www.richmondcomputes.org/connecting_to_aol_with_linux confirmed to work] with penggy, an AOL dialer.
