Kam,

scanModem reports that your modem is supported through slmodem-2.9.11 code:

Predictive  diagnostics for card in bus 00:13.0:
	Modem chipset  detected on
NAME="Modem: Motorola SM56 Data Fax Modem "
CLASS=0703
PCIDEV=1057:3052
SUBSYS=1057:3020
IRQ=9
IDENT=slamr

 For candidate modem in:  00:13.0
   0703 Modem: Motorola SM56 Data Fax Modem
      Primary device ID:  1057:3052
 Support type needed or chipset:	slamr



 1057:3052 has a Motorola chipset, poorly supported by Motorola itself
 However Zello discovered that drivers written to support Smartlink
modems do support the 1057:3052 chipset!!
 It sufficed to add 1057:3052 to the list of modem cards recognized by
the Smartlink slamr driver.
 There is a ungrab-winmodem driver used in conjunction with slamr,
which must have 1057:3052
 similarly added. See messages from Zello:
 	http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg00846.html
 	http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg00848.html
 and Alvaro Aguirre about the ungrab-winmodem fix:
	http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg00990.html
 For general guidance on ungrab-winmodem + slamr usage, read the
DOCs/Smartlink.txt

The modem is supported by the Smartlink
plus the slmodemd helper utility.  Read the
DOCs/Smartlink.txt and Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.

 For kernels 2.6.31 the slamr driver is not (yet) functional, failing
within at the
   Carrier Check
 function.  Thus for service, retain a 2.6.30 or earlier kernel. For
Ubuntu users this
 can be done by downloading the kernel from
http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/linux-image-2.6.28-16-generic
 and from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/Ubuntu/
the slamr-2.6.28-16-generic.tar.gz


For 2.6.18-164.15.1.el5 compiling drivers is necessary. As of October
2007 the current packages at
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/  are the
ungrab-winmodem-20070505.tar.gz and slmodem-2.9.11-20080126.tar.gz

Writing DOCs/Smartlink.txt

You may read DOCs/Smartlink.txt for more information.

Do download:

http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/  are the
ungrab-winmodem-20070505.tar.gz and slmodem-2.9.11-20080126.tar.gz

$ tar -zxvf slmodem-2.9.11-20080126.tar.gz
$ cd slmodem-2.9.11-20080126
$ make KERNEL_VER=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build
$ make
$ su -c 'make install'
$ tar -zxvf ungrab-winmodem-20070505.tar.gz
$ su -
passwd:
# cd ungrab-winmodem-20070505
# make
# make install

# exit
$ su -
passwd:
# modprobe ungrab-winmodem
# modprobe slamr
# slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY /dev/slamr0

then open up another terminal shell
$ su -
passwd:
# wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
will scan and hopefully find /dev/ttySL0 as the modem port all that
remains is edit /etc/wvdial.conf as root user and remove ";" and add
username, password, ISP phone number and a line "Carrier Check = no"
to it.  Attempt to dialout and see if you can connect.  If you can
connect , but cannot browse add the nameserver to /etc/resolv.conf and
save it.

You may also download latest packages (don't know if they will compile
with 2.6.18-? kernel).  Should you encounter difficulties, let us know
and we'll try to help.

Regards,

Antonio
