All, Thanks to the contribution from أحمد المحمودي (Ahmed El-Mahmoudy) there is now a package slmodem-2.9.11-20090222.tar.gz with which both the slmodemd helper, as well as the slamr.ko driver, can be compiled with the gcc-4.3 currently used in recent Linux updates. For those interested in details, the patches Ahmed provided on in the folder/ slmodem-2.9.11-20090222/patches/sldiffs-20090222/ There is also assembled a SLMODEMD_gcc4.3_alsa1.0.17.tar.gz containing a slmodemd compiled with ALSA suppport. Both are (soon) available at http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/. It any of you are having a problem with slmodemd usage, the newly compiled slmodemd may alleviate it. Credit & thanks to Ahmed Antonio has reported that on one of his systems, after modem activation with typically slmodemd command, two successive usages of wvdial and necessary to achieve a dialout. If you have a similar experience, please report to the List.
