Paul, Thanks for your contributions. Alexei has been our more recent maintainer for the ltmodem code. His martian derivative http://martian.barrelsoutofbond.org/index.html has the benefit that the martian_dev driver is all Open Source, and can be compiled as 32 0r 64 bit binaries. and the precompiled 32 bit ltmdmobj.o is combined into the non-driver martian_modem helper utility x86_64 bit systems do work with a 64 bit compiled martian_dev.ko plus the 32 bit martian_modem However the martian variant does not support fax, motivating Alexei to do the ltmodem-20090420 update. If would be useful if possible to apply any needed updates to the martian-full-20080625.tar.gz as we haven't heard from Alexei for a while.
