i've experienced in the past a lot of problems installing and working with an lt modem on my notebook (an old fujitsu-siemens lifebook c - p3 600mhz) under mandrake (as BashTin maybe can remember). now after the switch to debian i'm in trouble again. i downloaded the relevant .deb from
http://ltmodem.heby.de/ and run it using dpkg-i. the apps starts but after a while it hangs and i have to kill it. herebelow is the LTinstall file generated. i had a look into it but i get lost in it. please help!
If you cannot resolve the problems, please send /usr/share/doc/ltmodem-2.4.27-1-686/LTinstall.txt to

Installation of the package wvdial is STRONGLY recommended,
to enable the drivers+modem_hardware test by Root:

Browse /usr/share/doc/ltmodem-2.4.27-1-686 for guidance and tools.
If not familar with the ltmodem drivers, run the interactive CHECKOUT utility by executing:
