Donna,
Download the SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz most compatible with the
gcc-4.1 used to compile your kernel. Likely the 4.2 variant would be
OK too, but best avoid any complication from that origin.
Under Linux:
$ tar zxf SLM*.tar.gz
$ cd SLMODEMD.gcc4.1
$ ls
should show slmodemd and other files.
Copy it to the standard position:
$ sudo cp slmodemd /usr/sbin/
make executable:
$ sudo chmod +x /usr/sbin/slmodemd
and verify the version.
$ slmodemd --version
also for general info
$ slmodemd --help
Then load the driver (through probably autoloaded already):
$ sudo modprobe snd-intel8x0m
and activate the modem
$ sudo slmodemd -c USA --alsa modem:1
open a 2nd console and the modem should be found by:
$ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
