The mknod was a good start. However, Thomas is using
a parport feature (ppdev) only available on 2.4.x kernels.
One solution would be to upgrade your kernel to a not-fully-debugged-yet
kernel, at the expense of upgrading couple of other packages,
while contributing to Linux as beta-tester (consider it ;-).
In the other hand, sometime ago, I wanted to have this feature
on 2.2.x kernels to write a "statparport" program that would mimic
statserial (very useful for debugging port communication!).
So I backported the ppdev module from 2.4.x to 2.2.x. (only raw mode,
no IEEE1284 proto).
Let me know if this can be of any interrest to you.
BTW, soundmodem looks like a killer app, I don't see much traffic/hacking
on it? Do you guys know a better place where hams experiment/report/
share patches of soundmodem? Is there a TODO/Whishlist ?
