Marvin,
Thank you so much for the helpful e-mail.  I feel like I'm getting more familiar
with what needs doing, but unfortunately it hasn't yet worked.

I did the following lines
$ sudo cp slmodemd /usr/sbin/
$ sudo modprobe snd-intel8x0m

which went fine; at least, there were no error messages.  But when doing
$sudo slmodemd -c USA --alsa modem:1
I received the error message you can see in the attached file. Copied here, it says:
----
error: mixer setup: attach hw:1 error: No such device
ALSA lib pcm.c:2017:(snd_pcm_open_conf) Invalid type for PCM modem:1 definition
(id: modem, value: cards.pcm.modem)
error: alsa setup: cannot open playback device 'modem:1': Invalid argument
error: cannot setup device `modem:1'
-------

In the file, you will also see the various experiments I tried, as I read and
re-read the various files in slmodemd.gcc4 and the original modem folder that
resulted from running scanModem.  Note also that, for the most part, I write 'UK'
rather than USA since that is where I am. [FYI, SlModem-ALSA.txt refers to
/usr/bin whereas other files - and yourself -  refer to /usr/sbin so you will see
various attempts to try both.]

With apologies that this is becoming fairly protracted, would you advise the next
step?  I am extremely grateful for your help and time.

Thank you very much,

Tim
