Let me try to clarify issues a bit.
1) Your system is now properly equipped to support compiling.
2) However the failure you encountered with the
slmodem-2.9.11-20061021 resource:
`__set_64bit_v ar':
is a characteristic of recent code fixes, suggesting that in the case
of adding these new fixes for 2.6.n kernels, compatibility was broken
with requirements of your fairly old Debian  2.4.27-3-386 kernel.
3) The simplest thing to thus try with your current kernel is an older
Smartlink support package.  You could try either the last of the old
series  slmdm-2.7.10.tar.gz, or one of the early packages in the new
series, say slmodem-2.9.11-20051009.tar.gz

This is the simplest option you can try. Just try the compile again with the
slmodem-2.9.11-20051009 instead of the slmodem-2.9.11-20061021

4) The more lengthy alternative is to replace the whole installation
with a more current Linux, with which we know the the
slmodem-2.9.11-20061021 resource works with your Smartlink modem.
THis would bring the benefits of much improved  hardware support under
the current 2.6.n kernel.

Debian derivative Ubuntu Edgy with 2.6.17 kernel is one option for a whole
Linux update.  My modem is thus working.  See  http://www.ubuntu.com/
for more details

Hi Jacques,

After I ran scanMod em I opened the Modem file it
created and I read 1stRead.txt. It directed me to the
other files and I found that the more I read, the more
overwhelmed and confused I became. I really wouldn't
have asked for help if I could have found it and I
have been spending nearly all day the past 4 days
trying to get this installed. I apologize for being
aggravated, maybe you can relate. Here...have a look.

-------
/lib/modules/2.4.27-3-386/build/include/asm/system.h:
In function
`__set_64bit_v ar':

amrmo_init.c: At top level:

---------
these were lethal, breaking compile of the driver.
Could be that this
code package is too recent to support the older 2.4.27
kernel.

There are two alternative routes.  You could try
compiling the older
slmdm-2.7.10.tar.gz   resource. Way as well try it.

But if it fails, I would recommend installation the
Very User friendly
Debian derivative Ubuntu Edgy with 2.6.17 kernel, with
much more
current hardware suport and again using the slmodem
package.  See
http://www.ubuntu.com/
