Also if the above suggestions, did not help any and if you send
output of
# chkconfig slmodemd --list
send us
# lsmod
to see if ungrab-winmodem and slamr are loaded or not? you can check
if they are present in the system by doing
# ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/extra/ -l
should output three, ungrab-winmodem.ko, slamr.ko, and slusb..ko.

Antonio
