The SmartLink slamr driver supports this modem:
2000:2800 Gateway SL2800
complemented by the SmartLink slmodemd.
== Checking PCI IDs through modem chip suppliers ==
SmartLink at http://www.smlink.com/ owns vendor IDs
163c, 2000, 2003, and 2004
The official download site is:
http://www.smlink.com/main/index1.php?ln=en&main_id=40
,
with slmodem-2.9.10 and later releases only licensed
for Smartlink chipsets.
A series maintaining a much broader license for other
chipset support,
can be downloaded from
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
Though not always needed, download the files:
slmodem-CurrentVersion.tar.gz - provides the most
general code package.
slmodemd-CurrentVersion.tar.gz - provides a
compiled slmodemd
ungrab-winmodem.tar.gz - may be needed for usage
with slamr.
Details on their usage are in Slmodem.txt,
Slmodem-ALSA.txt and
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/slmodem-serial.html
======= PCI_ID checking completed ======
Update=2005_Dec_26
A PCMCIA CardBus is not detected on this System.
The kernel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 was compiled with
CONFIG_REGPARM, providing more compact and faster
code.
Adequate match of gcc versions of the compiler and
kernel.
Checking for kernel-headers needed for compiling.
Checking /usr/src/ for compressed compressed headers
or kernel-source
Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not
manifestly ready!
If compressed resources are present, expand and then
configure them following DriverCompiling.txt
They may have to be installed.
Within your Linux distributions' installation CD or
online resource (and mirrows), search for :

One of which must be installed if compiling drivers to
match kernel 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 proves necessary.
Within the output Modem/ folder, read

A /dev/modem symbolic link is not set.

pppd version 2.4.2 may not be fully compatible with
2.6.8 kernel releases.
If an initial CONNECT is achieved without PPP being
subsequently established,
drop back to a 2.4.1 version. This has worked for
PCTEL AMR modem users,
supported by the http://www.smlink.com slmodem
software.
Check pppd version with:
pppd --version
See
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-fourth/msg03167.html
For kernel-version 2.4.20-8 , a failure in automatic
loading of PPP related modules
has been reported. It was necessary to manually load
with:
/sbin/modprobe
/lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/net ppp_generic
/sbin/modprobe
/lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/net ppp_deflate
/sbin/modprobe
/lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/net ppp_synctty
/sbin/modprobe
/lib/modules/2.4.20-8/kernel/drivers/net ppp_async
or dialout efforts failed.
The Internet Configuration Wizard writes a
configuration file:
/etc/ wvdial.conf
containing a line default line
Stupid Mode = yes
Better dialup performance may be achieved by
commenting out this line as:
# Stupid Mode = yes
If the Smartlink slmodemd is used for port creation,
an added line is necessary
Carrier Check = no
Also non-USA Users may need to add to the [Modem0]
block:
Init2 = AT+GCI=hexadecimal_country_code
but test without it first.
