Rodolfo,
Use the file
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/slmodem-2.9.11-20070813.tar.gz In the directory Modem where you found ModemData.txt, there are instructions for compiling.
Your ModemData shows that some other lower level files must be installed.

.  I'm trying now with Debian Etch.  I'm having difficulties in installing
slmodem-2.9.10.  Maybe you already know the whole necessary procedure?  Or
shall I run scanmodem and send the output to this list?

Rodolfo,
Please understand that "Debian Etch" is not very informative.
Without knowing which kernel you have installed, it is a bit difficult to help
you.

Furthermore, the SmartLink Web site is not the right place to pick up Linux
SmartLink drivers because SmartLink stopped maintaining the drivers while
their author maintained them at linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink .

So, alltogether, if you need help, please help US by suppying the information
which we know that we need, for which the scanModem utility is made, rather
than what you believe to be sufficient.
scanModem reports, among others, the kernel and compiler used by your Linux
system. Since your former installation had a kernel 2.4.27-x , it is likely
that your (newer, I guess) distribution has some 2.6.x kernel, and an other
compiler, which are good enough reasons to make the old unmaintained
slmodem-2.9.10 fail.
See http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/#scanModem



Thanks.  I'm attaching ModemData.txt.

Bye
Rodolfo
