Since I upgraded to kernel 2.6 I had to use other drivers. In case you like to stick with the 2.4 kernel refer to the description made for the Stylistic LT.
To enable the modem, you need to install the ltmodem package. The current version can be found via http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/.
After unpacking the tarball and changing into its directory:
tar -xzf ltmodem-2.6-alk-v00.tar.gz
cd ltmodem-2.6-alk/
you need to edit the Makefile to amend the path to your kernel 2.6 source directory.
After that just run
make
This should produce besides other files the modules ltserial.ko and ltmodem.ko.
Copy them to /lib/modules/<your_kernel_version>/other/
(You might need to create this directory.)
Now open /etc/modules.conf with your favorit editor and add something like:
alias char-major-62 ltserial
alias /dev/tts/LT0 ltserial
alias /dev/modem ltserial
To check the installation run:
modprobe ltserial
lsmod
This should report that the modules ltserial and ltmodem are loaded.
If not check /var/log/messages for any errors.
The dial-up connection itself can now be configured by using yast2 or any other tool.
Note: I need to call modprobe ltserial in /etc/init.d/boot.local to avoid problems when I try to use the modem, but I could not figure out why...
