Peyton,
The modem using driver snd-intelx80m should be activated by:
$ sudo slmodemd -c USA --alsa modem:1
which should report creation of:
/dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N , N some number
where slmodemd is a VerySmart helper utility doing most of the work.
If the modem is activated open a 2nd console/TAB and test for modem
detection is:
$ sudo wvdialconf
Read the wvdial.txt for follow through details, and email further
questions to the List.
No that modem drivers will occassionally die while loaded. They can
be refreshed by:
$ sudo modprobe -r snd-intelx80m
$ sudo modprobe snd-intelx80m
then repeat the activation process.
