Please see http://www.linmodems.org/ for more information and a
mailing list where your question should go.
Cheers,

Ask the binary only driver provider.
This list is about free software, and nobody else but the driver vendor
can really help you

Actually, I think that Lucent's driver has been open source (I didn't check
how "free" their license is) for at least a year now. No more of these ugly
binary drivers that you had to apply binary patches (aggh!) to on every
kernel version.
A quick google search turned out http://www.heby.de/ltmodem as a place you
can get the sources.
I'm using such a driver on my laptop (Redhat 7.2), I compiled it myself (I
don't know why Redhat doesn't include a module for this modem - maybe it
isn't "free enough") and the modem is working nicely.

Nope, in the archive you will find a file ltmdmobj.o. The rest is a
wrapper for this binary only driver.
Greetings

If you unpack ltmodem, then source.tar.gz you will find an object
module that you don't have to source to. Therefor the lucent winmodem
code can't be open source.

Well... no. HW driver is already done, so what we need is someone
implementing opensource V.34/V.90. Anyone can do that.
