Basem

Your modem chipset,  Silicon Instruments 1543:3052, is potentially supported.
>From http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/  download both:
 ungrab-winmodem-20080126.tar.gz  and  slmodem-2.9.11-20080817.tar.gz

In your home folder under Llnux unpack them with:
$ tar zxf un*.tar.gz
$ tar zxf sl*.tar.gz

Move in with
$ cd ungrab-winmodem-20080126
Browse a bit.   Clean up with
$ make clean
compile drivers with
$ make
To  do the installs:
$ su root
# make  install

Same for the  slmodem-2.9.11-20080817.tar.gz package

Afterward:
# modprobe ungrab-winmodem
# modprobe slamr
and try to activate the modem with
#  slmodemd -c USA  /dev/slamr0
(USA is wrong, but this is just for testing.)

Hopefully there will be reported port creation:
     /dev/ttySL0  --> /dev/pts/N

Report back at this time.
