Some versions of the metricom modems would allow point to point
communications when they weren't on the merticom net.  I don't know if
this driver is for one of these or not, but it might not be a bad
thing to do if so.  I'll be there will be a lot of cheap modems on the 
market soon.  Sierra evidentally got stiffed for $10M in inventory of
these modems.  They should be appearing on the surplus market soon...
