Jacques,
your guess is right! (sorry if you didn't understand me easily, but I'm
not so comfortable in writing in English...): I did not run "sudo
./setup" at all.
Now I made it (sl-modem-daemon package is NOT installed, I removed it
completely), but there are some errors:
emanuele@emanuele-desktop:~/slamr-2.6.22-14-generic$ sudo ./setup

Read the Slamr.txt record, other *.txt files and the sample wvdial.conf .
I try to translate the Italian-language lines from the terminal output:

If I checked the slmodemd version, the output seems good:
emanuele@emanuele-desktop:~/slamr-2.6.22-14-generic$ slmodemd --version

Can I move on with the last steps:
$ slmodemd --help
$ slmodemd --countrylist &> Clist.txt
If not in the USA, look for your COUNTRY_NAME therein.
Do and edit with:
$ sudo gedit /etc/default/sl-modem-daemon
and therein replace the USA in the line:
SLMODEMD_COUNTRY=USA
This will provide for the correct Country setting in the automated:
slmodemd -c COUNTRY /dev/slamr0
?
Thanks for your help!

Emanuele,
In addition to my previous mail, I now think again and possibly did not
understand what you want,
Can it be that you wrote your message below BEFORE having run the
command sudo ./setup ? Or perhaps you did not run
sudo ./setup at all?
The correct version of slmodemd is created and installed by the command
sudo ./setup
slamr is a driver.
slmodemd is a control utility which starts the operation of the slamr
driver in your case, or of several versions of the ALSA driver which are
not relevant in your case.
The package sl-modem-daemon installs an obsolete version of slmodemd in
your system.
sudo ./setup installs the right one at the same place.
The package sl-modem-daemon is NOT necessary to use your modem.
All it does is to automatically start the program slmodemd when you boot
the computer. Without sl-modem-daemon you must type
sudo slmodemd -c ITALY /dev/slamr0
and leave slmodemd running in the window where you typed the command
before you can use the modem
sl-modem-daemon saves you the work of typing
sudo slmodemd -c ITALY /dev/slamr0

Jacques,
first of all, thank you for your answer.

Emanuele,
Your ModemData.txt tells you what you have to do step by step!
Have you tried to read it and apply the instructions?
Yes, I read the instructions, but what makes me ask for your help is the
emphatized part in the text:
The modem is supported by the Smartlink slamr driver
*plus the slmodemd helper utility.* Read the
Smartlink.txt and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.
Now, I don't have any slmodemd utility installed. Infact:
$ slmodemd --version
Il programma «slmodemd» non è attualmente installato. È possibile
installarlo digitando:
sudo apt-get install sl-modem-daemon
*bash: slmodemd: command not found*
I read Smartlink.txt, but (for me) it's not enough clear about the way
to install the slmodemd utility. I tried to install the sl-modem-daemon
package (via Synaptic package manager), but if I understood correctly
some previous messages, in Ubuntu there is a wrong version of the
utility. To be sure about this, when I finished to install the
sl-modem-daemon package, I wrote in the console:
$ slmodemd --version
and I got something like "2.9.9e" that should be wrong (infact in other
messages I read that the right version must be 2.9.11). Am I right?
I removed the slmodemd package, but now I don't know how to install the
slmodemd utlity. ModemData.txt don't cover this part of the procedure.
Can you help me?
Thanks, bye.
Emanuele
