Hmm, no. The *.O files ( note not *.o ! ) in the .../imported/
directory, that
are part of the source tar.gz (
hsflinmodem-5.03.03.L2mbsibeta02052300.tar.gz,
to be specific ) package come with no sources, they are not rebuilt, if
you
delete them, then the driver can not be built.
I also discovered the licence for them ( at least I assume that this
license is
for that files ) in the ( ahem... ) LICENSE file.

So , sorry for bothering you ...

bye,
david
