Frank,
scanModem reports that your modem is supported by slmodem + alsa

The HDA card softmodem chip is 0x10573057
Support type needed or chipset: slmodemd supporting the
snd-hda-intel audio+modem driver
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_gcc4.4_alsa1.0.23.tar.gz having a compiled
slmodemd. Unpack under Linux with:
$ tar zxf SLMODEMD_gcc4.4_alsa1.0.23.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.
Use the following advice from Marv:
/*************
It will be easiest if you install packages in the order:
dkms
sl-modem-source
sl-modem-daemon
The last has scripts which activate thee modem upon bootup.
Then the modem should be detected by:
# sudo wvdialconf

Antonio
