Marvin and Antonio
Thanks, this is working.
I had neglected to update my non-free packages which include
sl-modem-daemon. Updating sl-modem-daemon and then installing slmodemd
version 2.9.11 works. There is still a problem with losing connection
after one minute under the 2.6.18 kernel, however, using the 2.6.24
kernel, it appears to work well.

PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:1f.6 to 64
is OK since it is activated in the end.
Bryon,
The only modem driver needed is the snd-intel8x0m
So within /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base-blacklist, change at lines
# blacklist snd-atiixp-modem
# blacklist snd-via82xx-modem
to
blacklist snd-atiixp-modem
blacklist snd-via82xx-modem
Using
$ sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base-blacklist
When you installed the sl-modem-daemon package, it wrote over your
2.9.11 slmodemd with an older version 2.9.9e at /usr/sbin/slmodemd .
Check with:
$ slmodemd --version
You want to replace the 2.9.9e with the one from the SLMODEMD package.
First
# /etc/init.d/sl-modem-daemon stop
then replace
Then
$ slmodemd --version
should report 2.9.11
Start
# /etc/init.d/sl-modem-daemon start
and
# wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
should find the modem, as all the other diagnostics are now fine.

Please do as it says read DOCs/Bootup.txt and send dmesg.txt to us.

I'm not making very much progress.
I was able to update my Debian 4.0 system (including new versions of
alsa-base and the kernel). I installed the 2.6.24 kernel from Debian
lenny. I appended pci=routeirq (from Bootup.txt). I use
"/etc/init.d/sl-modem-daemon restart". Then I have to restart it
again; the first command seems only to stop slmodemd. Then I use
wvdial. This has worked only once or twice. I haven't figured out what
I did right.
Am I heading in the right direction?
I downloaded a new scanModem; attached find the ModemData.txt under
2.6.24; I don't think it changed very much.
Thanks

Bryon,
Is all your code at Debian Etch stable level, or just the kernel?
If only the kernel, at least also update pppd and all its dependent files.
We do have successful users under 2.6.24 kernels.

No success adjusting LCP so far.
Are you suggesting I upgrade the kernel? The modem works with 2.4.27,
but
not with 2.6.18. Everything else in my system is the same unless it has
to
do with how the kernel relates to it. 2.6.24 is available from Debian.
I
don't have ethernet; I will have to use an offline method.
Thanks

is not transparent, Many on this list are using similar modems into
the 2.4.2n kernels. Read the sections of /etc/ppp/options about
adjusting LCP settings.
and similarly section in
$ man pppd
Also the PostInstall Howto at http://linmodems.technion.ac.il
If you have an alternate ethernet CONNECT, do a
# apt-get update
# apt-get upgrade
to bring in any Etch updates.

pppd reports:

Serial link appears to be disconnected.
Connect time 3.0 minutes.
Again, this is not a problem under kernel 2.4.27 using slamr. I'm not
sure
what to do next.

Building slmodemd works, however, my connection does not stay up long
enough
to be useful. I'm using ppp.
By the way, gcc (version 4.1.2 20061115) gives several:

Just resend if necessary.
But the solution is to compile your own ALSA competent slmodemd for
support of the SIL27 codec modem.
1) install the package libasound2-dev , required for the ALSA
competent
install
2) from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
download the slmodem-2.9.11-20080417.tar.gz
unpack and move into the modem/ subfolder. Then do:
# make clean
# make SUPPORT_ALSA=1
Then replace your current /usr/sbin/slmodemd
