Edward,

  Your modem appears to be supported via slmodem + alsa. 

Support type needed or chipset:    slmodemd

Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ 
the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack
under Linux with: $ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz
and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with
command: sudo slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa modem:2 
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.


Regards,

Antonio

Following the instructions, I have installed slmodemd and it works!

This is a NEW softmodem case!  Please send the output ModemData.txt 
to DISCUSS@xxxxxxxxxxxxx , even if further assistance is not needed.
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

Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ 
the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack
under Linux with: $ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz
and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with
command: sudo slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa modem:2 
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.

Already loaded into the kernel is snd-intel8x0m and audio drivers it
depends on, displayed by:    lsmod | grep snd_intel8x0m

The diagnostic outputs for this softmodem section have their raw

browse. The information is from files:
