Thanks fer the explaination Dinesh, Kris, Ken and Jerry! Sorry I took 
your time by answerin it. It seems this question of mine has already 
been asked a few times already. I tried ltmdm but it didn't work. 
Definitely not a lucent chipset I guess. Anyway, thanks again. I'll 
google some more of it.
