It should at least echo "ltmdm" to the shell.

I spent some time in September 2002 corresponding with WATANABE Kiyoshi <aab10490@pop16.odn.ne.jp> (email address included because it's already been publicly posted on the ports page). The Tecra 8000 has the modem set up as an ISA device, and he modified the code and helped me configure it until it worked. The bad news is that I don't think those changes have been integrated into the port; certainly the port doesn't appear to work on my Tecra 8000, which is now running 5.2.1. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA
