 Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
 the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.2.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack
under Linux with:
       $ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.2.tar.gz
 and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with command:
       sudo slmodemd -c USA --alsa modem:1
 reporting dynamic creation of ports:
       /dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N   , with N some number
 Read DOCs/Smartlink.txt and Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt for follow
through guidance.

Driver snd-intel8x0m  occassionally dies when loaded. Just unload and reload:
$ sudo modprobe -r snd-intel8x0m
$ sudo modprobe snd-intel8x0m
Then again activate:
$ sudo slmodemd -c USA --alsa modem:1

The difference between SIL27 and SIL2f is not significant
