This is a sucess report that slmodemd works with
2.6.20 or greater
kernel. I noticed that some distros run binary
modules in kenrl 2.6.20 and
I wanted to try if slmodemd worked and it does work.
The only thing is
that the message thet slmodemd taints kernel, but it
still works. This
is only a sucess report.

chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
