This was my suggestion - the makes the kld load before the kernel. The
ltmdm port seems to load the kld from /usr/local/etc/rc.d after the kernel
has booted and this caused problems on the Dell i7500 - the modem wasn't
detected properly.

This would only be necessary for a non PnP ISA serial port I believe.

This should work for you, Tim.
