Luke,
The answer is no.
ModemData.txt says what you have to do for your SmartLink 2800 modem device. Start by Download slamr-2.6.15-23-386.tgz as clearly visible in the quote.
BEGIN QUOTE
For candidate modem in PCI bus:  0000:04:09.0

Support type needed or chipset:    slamr


The modem is supported by the Smartlink slamr driver
plus the slmodemd helper utility.  Read the
Smartlink.txt and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.

----------> Luke, LOOK HERE:
Download slamr-2.6.15-23-386.tgz from http://linmodems.technion.il/packages/smartlink/
under Linux, open a terminal and unpack with:
$ tar zxvf slamr-2.6.15-23-386.tgz
Move into the unpacked folder
$ cd slamr-2.6.15-23-386
Look around
$ ls
Run the
$  sudo ./setup

Afterwards do:
$ slmodemd --help
$ slmodemd --countrylist &> Clist.txt
If not in the USA, look for your COUNTRY_NAME therein.
Do and edit with:
$ sudo gedit  /etc/default/sl-modem-daemon
and therein replace the USA in the line:
SLMODEMD_COUNTRY=USA
This will provide for the correct Country setting in the automated:
   slmodemd -c COUNTRY /dev/slamr0

if i have understood this correctly, to get my modem working i should simply follow the instructions on conexant.txt or smartlink.txt?

thanks for the support, luke

                             from    Archives:


Lacking a dsp (digital signal processing) chip, the modem is a software
intensive or "softmodem" type. Its primary controller manages the traffic
with the CPU. But the software needed is specified in the Subsystem.
-----------------------------------------
Support type needed or chipset:

Support can likely be achieved through two mutually exclusive alternatives:
1) An ALSA modem driver plus slmodemd.  Read Smartlink.txt for details, and
to test get the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.tar.gz from:
    http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
2) The hsfmodem software for Conexant chipset modems: Read Conexant.txt

An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem driver:  snd-intel8x0m
provides Low Level support enabling contact with the modem hardware.
For all BUT Conexant chip soft modems (using hsfmodem software)
complementary High Level support is through a Smartlink utility:  slmodemd

Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack under Linux with:
    $ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.tar.gz
and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with command:
    sudo slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa modem:1
reporting dynamic creation of ports:
    /dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N   , with N some number
Read Smartlink.txt and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.


The diagnostic outputs for this softmodem section have their raw information in folders and text files under /proc/asound/ which you can browse. The information
is from files:
    /proc/asound/pcm
-------------------------------
00-00: AD198x Analog : AD198x Analog : playback 1 : capture 1
00-01: AD198x Digital : AD198x Digital : playback 1

    /proc/asound/modules
-------------------------------
0 snd_hda_intel
and from the command:
    aplay -l | grep -i modem


----------------end Softmodem section --------------

scanModem could not identify the Support Type needed from diagnosics or archives.
    If an alternative boot into Microsoft windows can be done, do mouse
clicks on:
Start > Settings > Control Panel > Classical View (for Window XP) > System
Hardware > Device Manager > Modems > Click on the + > Modem. Double click to
expand the graphic. Manufacturer information may be displayed. For example, CXT stands for Conexant. Click the Diagnostics Tab. Record any hardware ID or vendor
and device information.
Next do the Query Modem and record the ATI specifications displayed such as:
   ATI3 - Agere SoftModem Version 2.1.22
   ATI5 - 2.1.22, AMR Intel MB, AC97 ID:SIL REV:0x27
Try to identify the modem setup file, with name perhaps MODEM.INF.
If may contain chipset Vendor informaton.


Formal support for Conexant chipset modems are available ONLY through
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers.  Read Conexant.txt for details.
and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance. Driver speed is limited to
14,400 until a key is purchased.  There is NO freeware alternative.
There are two support package types: hsfmodem  and hcflinmodem.

Completed candidate modem analyses.

The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev

The kernel was compiled with gcc version 4.0.3 and a compiler is not installed


If compiling a modem driver proves to be necessary, one of the two procedures must be followed.
If not yet on the Internet, put the Dapper install CD in the drive
Open a terminal and therein:
$ sudo apt-get install  gcc-4.0  make
Additionally the package linux-headers-2.6.15-23-386 must be downloaded.
Go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and search for linux-headers-2.6.15-23-386
After downloading, it can be installed with:
$ sudo dpkg -i linux-header*.deb

Or alternatively if online through Ethernet do:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential
will do all the necessary installations mentioned above.

In either installation case, set a symbolic link which will be expected later:
$ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-4.0  /usr/bin/gcc
After check with:
$ ls -l /usr/bin/gcc*
which should display:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2006-07-09 21:53 /usr/bin/gcc -> /usr/bin/gcc-4.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 93584 2006-04-20 18:22 /usr/bin/gcc-4.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 16245 2006-04-20 18:13 /usr/bin/gccbug-4.0

Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!

If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
    gcc-4.0 make linux-headers-2.6.15-23-386

In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:

To enable dialout without Root permission do:
    $ su - root  (not for Ubuntu)
       sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
    sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
