Yes, the file mentioned there
slmodem-2.9.11-20080417.tar.gz was posted at LinModems
Resorce page, smartlink section.  I do not have a
problem yet since Fedora 9 has not been released, I
just tested the code to see if it compiled or not so
that when Fedora 9 is released, I can connect from my
home machine.  Other users which have a smartlink
based modem will be left out, if things continue not
to compile.

Thanks,
