Thank you Mr. Jacques, also Mr. MarvS for the explanation.
Ok, assume I can solve the "hyphen & underscore" thing.
How can I modify the /etc/init.d/slmodemd, if the syntax for slmodemd is :
slmodemd -c INDONESIA --alsa modem:1 ?
What is the name for SLMODEMD_MODULE ? Is this ok ? :
-------------------------------------------------------
prog=slmodemd
RETVAL=0
# Default configuration
SLMODEMD_DEVICE=slamr0
SLMODEMD_COUNTRY=INDONESIA
# Source configuration
CONFIG=/etc/sysconfig/$prog
if [ -f $CONFIG ]; then
. $CONFIG
fi
[ -z "$SLMODEMD_MODULE" ] && SLMODEMD_MODULE=slamr
if [ "$SLMODEMD_MODULE" = snd-intel8x0m ]; then
SLMODEMD_DEVICE=snd/controlC0
SLMODEMD_OPTIONS="--alsa modem:1"
SLMODEMD_FULLDEVICE=
else
SLMODEMD_FULLDEVICE=/dev/$SLMODEMD_DEVICE
Fi
----------------------------------------------------
And according to Mr.Jacques explanation before, I have to create device
symlink at rc5.d so it can load during runlevel 5 :
> If you prefer to do this by hand, just open /etc/rc5.d/
> and add ln -s /etc/init.d/slmodemd S80slmodemd
Is that still right ?
BTW, why 80 at S80slmodemd symlink name ?
Please, I really want to know.
Thankyou very very much in advance Mr. Jacques, and also Mr. Marvin.
Cheers,
jusuf

Jusuf,
hyphen or underscore: same thing (see for example
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-sixth/msg01114.html )
So in your case the module snd-via82xx-modem is loaded, even if seen as
snd_via82xx-modem (apparently yet a Mandrake/Mandriva feature).
Then you just need to CORRECTLY start slmodemd
In your /etc/rc.local you have
slmodemd -c INDONESIA --alsa modem:1 and it works.
In the present mail you write:
"> Now I'm more confusing than before. :-)
> Of course in this state the slmodemd gives an error attach hw:1 error
: nosuch file or directory."
No wonder, hw:1 is not the same as modem:1
