sorry for the long delay in replying, but after patching with watanabe's
patch below, the lt winmodem now works great. have sustained 10-20 minute
dialins without problem, though speeds are sort of pegged at around
33.6kbps. nevertheless, my gratitude to watanabe for the driver code.

any chance that this will make its way into the source tree and form a
part of the freebsd distribution ?
