Subject: RedHat 8. Try fixscript on LTmodem drivers
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-15
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Quite possible, Forced insertion of the modem drivers can be avoided,
by cosmetic masking of the drivers.
There was installed by the driver package:
  /usr/share/doc/ltmodem-YourVersion/utils/fixscript
                                   "/DOCs/fixscript.txt

Basically,
# modprobe -r lt_serial
to remove drivers
# cd IntoDriverFolder,   /lib/modules/Kernel-Version/ltmodem/
set a symbolic link for convenience:
# ln -s  /usr/share/doc/ltmodem-YourVersion/utils/fixscript fixscript
# mv lt_modem.o lt_modem.orig
# ./fixscript lt_modem.orig lt_modem
Test with
# insmod lt_modem
# insmod lt_serial
You may have to fixscript, lt_serial also.

Please test and report back.
When the proprietary component compiled with gcc 3.xx is available,
this will no longer be necessary.
