r jefferey,
The stuff which is on tyour CD is basically correctly chosen but
completely outdated.
Your ModemData.txt says:
"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."
These two files, Smartlink.txt and YourSystem.txt were written in the
Modem subdirectory when you executed the scanModem utility.
Do not hesitate to return to us if you need further help. But please in
case of a problem report exactly what you did, step by step, with the
exact text of the error message(s).

Hi,
Thanks for the help, I'm a newbie and am trying to
make the switch to Linux. I'm setting up a computer
for my mother to use to browse the Internet. She only
has dial-up as an option. There is a fresh install of
Ubuntu.
A cd came with the modem and has three files in a
folder labeled Linux: slmdm-2.7.15.tar &
slmdm-dix.patch. The "read me" file only mentions
installation under RedHat. I have not tried to install
anything because I don't really understand what I'm
doing.
The lspci command shows (among others things):
01:08.0 Modem: Smart Link Ltd. SmartLink SmartPCI562
56K Modem (rev 04)
I will continue to attempt to sort through the
information.
Thanks again,
rjefferey
