I moved them (just in case) emerged the new ppp package and everything worked 
fine until I upgraded gcc (but that's another story).  Now my ltmodem comes 
up with this error: 
================================================
# modprobe -v ltmodem
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.17-gentoo-r7/ltmodem/ltmodem.ko 
FATAL: Error inserting ltmodem 
(/lib/modules/2.6.17-gentoo-r7/ltmodem/ltmodem.ko): Invalid module format
================================================
I'll recompile my kernel (in case it needs to be recompiled with the new gcc), 
rinse and repeat - but I am drifting away:  Yes, move the files and proceed 
with the emerge.  I had no issues whatsoever and the dial up connection 
worked fine following the emerge.  However, your mileage may vary.
