I think a port is going to be the most viable solution for now - this thing
requires a linux .o file as part of the module, and unless we uuencode the
thing and write some Makefile glue for installing it (which is icky), it's
not going to be a good candidate for contrib.  Perhaps one of the ports
crew would be so kind as to read the instructions in:
     http://www.geocities.com/wtnbkysh/INSTALL-rough-translation-en.TXT
and use their advanced Makefile-fu to automate the process?  Lucent
"lose modem" support is overdue enough as it is.
