RE: /dev/ttySL0 is not present in my system. Please read the section of Smartlink.txt on automation The devices & ports should be dynamically created, if all is working properly Attach the USB modem. Then $ ls /dev/slusb0, /dev/ttySL0 , /dev/pts/* If /dev/slusb0 is not there. manually $ su root # mknod /dev/slusb0 -m 600 -c 241 0 ( check that 241 is correct, I'm not under linux now) This will also be done by rerunning only the # make install again # ls /dev/slusb0 to verify. Then # slmodemd -c ITALY /dev/slusb0 should creat the /dev/pts --> /dev/pts/N MarvS PS Rerun scanModem and send us the new ModemData.txt , so we can see what scripts were installed by the sl-modem-daemon package. Install it if you haven't already.
