The instructions for slmodemd very clearly show that before using wvdial
one ought to run wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf , edit the file for
password etc.., AND ADD THE FOLLOWING LINE because slmodemd does not
support sound:
Carrier Check = no
The log which you mailed strongly suggests that this requirement has
been overlooked.

symbolic link `/dev/ttySL0' -> `/dev/pts/1' created.
modem `hw:0,6' created. TTY is `/dev/pts/1'
Use `/dev/ttySL0' as modem device, Ctrl+C for termination.
Minimzed this terminal and opened a second terminal.
Entered the wvdial command:
In this instance, I added the X3 option into the "Init2 = ATQ0 X3 V1 E1 S0=0
&C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0" line.
Which made no difference.

... This repeated many many times until I pressed Ctrl-C.
The phone cord IS plugged into the the modem jack in the computer.
Checked at this location for info about the no-carrier
"http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-fifth/msg00552.html"; as referred to
in the slmodem.txt, but my machine does not have a /etc/module.conf file.
Have read throught the ~/modules files produced by scanmodem, but not able
to determine what is causing a NO CARRIER.
