Fix for USB analog modems

There is a problem that has been discussed here:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=29291

What I have done is followed the advice in the forum thread and created symlinks of /dev/ttyUSB0 to /dev/usb/ttyUSB0. Also for /dev/ttyUSB1.

Then I went through the relevant "firmware tarballs" packages (well, that's only the pl2303 pkg, isn't it?) and changed the symlink /dev/modem to /dev/ttyUSB0.

Then I noticed that the 'cdcacm' firmware package has the same problem, with /dev/modem a link to /dev/input/ttyACM0, so I have employed the same solution.

Barry, I rewrote a blog using the same architecture, idea, functionality and even the layout of PPLOG in PHP. You can see this at: http://hardkap.com/pritlog/ I showed this to the creator of PPLOG and he liked this idea and mentioned that he wanted to write this in PHP also.

"Fascinating. It's interesting that the author of PPLOG was previously a PHP programmer, but he decided to write PPLOG in Perl. Did you find it easy to translate Perl -> PHP?

"Barry, Actually, I wrote most of it using my logic and coding as I felt best. I used PPLOG as the reference to get the basic idea for each functionality. But in some places where I had difficulty getting it to work, I took the perl code and converted it into PHP. Yeah, It was easy to convert perl to php.
