I downloaded ltmodem source (ltmodem-2.6-8alk) and compiled against the kernel headers for the image I have installed (linux-headers-2.6.15-23-k7). Loading the module and then running wvdialconf caused my system to hang.

I then rebuilt and installed a new kernel image (kernel-source-2.6.15) for K7, without SMP support (since I have only one CPU). Rebuilding ltmodem modules against this new kernel allowed me to load ltmodem modules and run wvdialconf without hanging my system.

From this, I conclude that either ltmodem doesn't play nice with SMP kernels or something went amiss with the lastest kernel build (which was updated earlier this week if I'm not mistaken). I have not yet tried Adam Conrads packages from above just yet.
