Re: soundmodem and fedora c3

[Mike Markowski <mm@UDel.Edu>]

Just as a sanity check, did you remember to run soundmodemconfig so that 
it creates interface sm0?  And similarly, remember to actually run 
soundmodem before starting xastir.  :-)  I know you probably did, but 
just making sure all bases are covered!  After running soundmodem, make 
sure an "ifconfig" shows that sm0 is up before starting xastir.
