Try:
 Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
 the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.3.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack
under Linux with:
       $ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.3.tar.gz
 and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with command:
       sudo slmodemd -c USA  --alsa hw:0,6
 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.

Within the SLMODEMD.gcc4.3   folder, run
$ sudo ./setup

which will run elementary tests and output instructions. This "sudo
./setup" does not have to be repeated again.
Read the instructions in the SLMODEMD.gcc4.3/ folder for details.
Info us in some detail at which step you may run into trouble.
