Davide, Checking some archival info. RE: ST7554 USB Modem. usbcore: registered new driver ST7554 USB Modem The ST7554 chipset typically has the USB identifier 0483:7554 and is a Smartlink chipset, and NOT a Motorola type. Thus unless there is a problem with your MAC hardware platform, your USB modem should be supported by the slusb driver without modification.

Davide, Also the normal function of slmodemd -c ITALY /dev/slusb0 is to use /dev/slusb0 to dynamically create the true modem port /dev/pts/N , N some number with /dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N being a convient symbolic link to the /dev/pts/N N may change during different bootups. All of the /dev/slusbN , /dev/pts/N and /dev/ttySL0 are created in RAM space and disappear upon shutdown. The sl-modem-daemon package scripts should provide for /dev/slusb0 creation automatically. The first function test to try after a succcessfull creation of /dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/ptsN is # wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf which should find the modem by following /dev/ttySL0 For modems using /dev/pts/N ports, there must be added to /etc/wvdial.conf a line: Carrier Check = no and of course replacement of the <xxx> with your personal information.
