Derek Apologies, It is such common long term knowledge on this List, that we forgot to explicit inform you to keep martian_modem running. It is however in the documentation. For the martian_modem and the Smartlink slmodemd helpers, their Open Source companion drivers are mostly dumb. They make connection with the modem hardware, but almost all the COMM brains resides in the helpers. If is this separation of roles, which allows residence of a large Closed Source component in the helpers, and avoidance of a "Tainted Kernel" report when the drivers are loaded. This separation strategy was implemented first in the Smartlink code, and later entended to Lucent/Agere/LSI modems.
