Andre, If you are using Mandriva <quote> Mandriva 2008.0, and various downloads of other versions. </quote> Please run $ su - passwd: # cd SLMODEMD.gcc4.2/ look for slmodemd script in scripts folder(if it exists) and run # cp slmodemd /etc/rc.d/init.d/ # chkconfig slmodemd on edit the SLMODEMD_COUNTRY to CANADA since you do a <quote> slmodemd -a -c CANADA modem:1 </quote> and also change SLMODEMD_DEVICE from /dev/slamr to modem:1 Try that and report back. If you are running Ubuntu, then there is sl-modem-daemon, but here Marv is the expert so if you can please send/post ModemData.txt and you can get a better more precise answer.
