Gary,
/usr/sbin/ is the standard position for slmodemd
$ slmodemd --version
should report 2.9.11, as constrasted to the older 2.9.9e packaged in
the sl-modem-daemon package.
Scripts installled by sl-modem-daemon should automate:
modprobe snd-intel8x0m
slmodemd --alsa -c USA modem:1
Check that after bootup
/dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/SomeNumber
has been created.
If the modem becomes unresponsive
$ sudo /etc/iniit.d/sl-modem-daemon restart
which just automates removal
modprobe -r snd-intel8x0m
and restart:
modprobe snd-intel8x0m
slmodemd --alsa -c USA modem:1
If you want a graphical interface there is a front end gnome-ppp.
Install with:
$ apt-cache show gnome-ppp
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get install gnome-ppp
or just use the aptitute graphocal interface to apt-get
Under its Setup -> Options, uncheck the default Carrier Check
