Rodolfo,
PLEASE understand that I have NO experience with Debian and no such
modem. Now please tell me what you expect from me ...

Last year I managed to properly configure Debian Sarge for my modem: see

these are the steps I did:
# apt-get install linux-source-2.6.18
# apt-get install libc6-dev
# cd /usr/src
# tar xjvf linux-source-2.6.18.tar.bz2
# cd linux-source-2.6.18
# apt-get install gcc
# make mrproper
# cp -vi /boot/config-2.6.18-4-686 .config
# make oldconfig
. Then in Makefile I changed the line
EXTRAVERSION =
into:
EXTRAVERSION = -2-686
. Then I did:
# make dep
$ cd tmp
$ gzip -dc slmodem-2.9.11-20070813.tar.gz | tar xf -
. Then in slmodem-2.9.11-20070813/Makefile I changed the line
KERNEL_DIR:=/lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build
into:
KERNEL_DIR:=/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.18
. Then I did:
$ cd slmodem-2.9.11-20070813/
$ make clean
$ make
, but got error:
[...]
kernel-ver.c:9:30: error: linux/utsrelease.h: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [kernel-ver] Error 1

Jacques, Marvin:
please don't leave alone because I'm not able to solve these problems by
myself. I worked that error message out by installing
linux-headers-2.6.18-4-686 and putting in slmodem's Makefile the line:
KERNEL_DIR:=/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.18-4-686
. This way slmodem seems to have installed. But now the problem is that
/dev/ttySL0 is not present in my system. Please help!
Thanks
Rodolfo
