Yes, but in order to get it to work, I had to download the ltmodem 
source from http://www.heby.de/ltmodem, and install gcc, make etc. I had 
to also install the full kernel source, and configure it. [Or compile a 
custom kernel]. Then and only then did the ltmodem compile work for me.

Good luck . :)
