Thiago,
Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.0.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack
under Linux with:
$ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.0.tar.gz
and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with
command:
sudo slmodemd -c BRAZIL --alsa modem:1
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.

Do use the following as the email Subject Line:
SomeName, YourCountry Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS kernel 2.6.15-28-386
This will alert cogent experts, and distinguish cases in the Archives.
YourCountry will enable Country Code guidance.

a bootup process, but then enabled later. If modem drivers load
but the modem is not responsive, read Bootup.txt about possible fixes.

It will enrich the Archive and help others!
-------------------------------------------
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-intel8x0m
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
