Then again, the fact MiNT unlinks vectors (especially cookie jar)
means a LOT of things have to be patched. This reaches ridiculous
levels, when HS-Modem (a _patch_ itself) has to be patched using
Jerry Geiger's HSMINST package to correctly work under MiNT.

Btw, since Jerry is no longer involved (or so I recall reading),
would he agree to release the sources to HSMINST so others can
continue his work (then maybe even convince Harun Scheutzow to 
release HS-Modem so we can finally have HSM modules as XDD)? ;-)
