Roy,
hsfmodem software CANNOT support this modem.
----------
Class 0703: 8086:2446 Modem: Intel Corporation 82801BA/BAM AC'97 Modem
Primary PCI_id 8086:2446
Subsystem PCI_id 1179:0001
Softmodem codec or chipset from diagnostics: SIL27, an LSI/AgereSystems type.
from Archives: SIL27, an LSI/AgereSystems type.
-----------
However it is known that hsfmodem drivers can interfere with slmodemd actions.
So run the complete uninstall of the hsfmodem software including:
# hsfconfig --uninstall
Then reboot and retry:
------------------------
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:
slmodemd -c USA --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.
