Antonio,
I understand from your message that I should upgrade from
SLMODEMD-gcc4.3 to SLMODEMD-gcc4.4 before upgrading to UBUNTU 9.10.
Will I have to make any changes to wvdial.conf when I change to
SLMODEMD-gcc4.4?
Thanks
John

John,
scanModem reports that your modem is supported by
SLMODEMD-gcc4.4.tar.gz and any kernel upgrade it should continue
working since this SLMODEMD variant does not depend on kernel module
slamr.ko. You should have no difficulties. Try it out and report
back. Follow the instructions provided by scanModem

An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem driver: snd-hda-intel
provides Low Level support enabling contact with the modem hardware.
For all BUT Conexant chip soft modems (using hsfmodem software)
complementary High Level support is through a Smartlink utility: slmodemd
Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
the package SLMODEMD_gcc4.3_alsa1.0.18.tar.gz having a compiled
slmodemd. Unpack under Linux with:
$ tar zxf SLMODEMD_gcc4.3_alsa1.0.18.tar.gz
and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with command:
sudo slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --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.

Antonio

Recently I upgraded from UBUNTU 8.10 to UBUNTU 9.04.
I hesitated to upgrade to UBUNTU 9.10 because I heard about problems
with some modem chip sets.
Do you recommend UBUNTU 9.10 with my modem chip set? I have included a
recent ModemData.txt.
Thanks
