Clyde

 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.
$ slmodemd --countrylist
will report what to use for YOUR_COUNTRY


 with command:
     sudo slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa hw:0,6

 This should report 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.
