Jim, You are correct. The package does not exist. There is a new way to get the slmodem package: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sl-modem <quote> Since you are using Ubuntu, it is better to use the Ubuntu package providing slmodemd Download the package sl-modem-daemon. Under Ubuntu it can be installed with: $ sudo dpkg -i sl*/deb Afterward the modem should be dectected by: $ sudo wvdialconf If successful use $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf to add a line: Carrier Check = no and edit in your personal information. Read the DOCs/Smartlink.txt for details. </quote> Regards, Antonio On Tue, Jul 5, 2011 at 7:14 PM, Jim Nielsen <jim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > From the file YOURSYSTEM.TXT I am to look for the following file: > An ALSA compatible and compiled slmodemd is in the package SLMODEMD_gcc4.5_alsa1.0.23.tar.gz > with download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ > Unpack under Linux with: > $ tar zxf SLMODEMD_gcc4.5_alsa1.0.23.tar.gz > and read instructions therein. > > BUT I CAN"T FIND IT THERE!
