[hsflinux] ttySHSF0 plays peek-a-boo with kppp

I am having a problem using
hsflinmodem-5.03.27lnxtbeta03042700k2.4.21_0.13mdk-1mdk.i585.rpm with
kppp in Mandrake 9.1.

I have no problem installing, configuring and using this driver.  As a
matter of fact, I am using it right now as I type this e-mail.  

My problem is that kppp cannot find either /dev/modem or /dev/ttySHSF0
after I power down and re-start. 

When I re-boot to WinXP, and then re-boot to Mandrake 9.1, everything
works like it should.  I only "lose" my modem driver when I power down.

To get my modem working again, I have to remove the rpm file and then
install it again to get kppp to find the modem.

I did use hsflinmodem-5.03.27mbsibeta02122600k2.4.19_16mdk-1mdk.i586.rpm
with Mandrake 9.0 without any problems.


Does anyone have a clue on how to keep my modem from playing
"peel-a-boo"?

Bob
