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 hw:0,6
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.
Not sure what to use for YOUR_COUNTRY.
Find out what the hexadecimal country code is for the Congo/Zayre. Then do
$ slmodemd --countrylist
identify a Country with the same hexadecimal as Congo/Zayre and use
the companion name as YOUR_COUNTRY
Otherwise the diagnostics are finr.

This modem seems to work, but I don't get dial tone in dialing out, and
no connection, as far as I can see.
In hopes that this might make more sense to someone else, and as the
file said this is new info for y'all, I include it here.

This will alert cogent experts, and distinguish cases in the Archives.
YourCountry will enable Country Code guidance.

-------------------------------------------
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: slmodemd
An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem driver: snd-hda-intel
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
