Preliminaries download slmodem-2.9.11-20070430.tar.gz and ungrab-winmodem-20070430.tar.gz or the Latest Ones
from Smartlink section of LinModems Resource Page
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
1. After downloading, extract them with tar -zxvf slmodem_2.9.11_20070430.tar.gz
and tar -zxvf ungrab-winmodem-20070430.tar.gz
2. cd to slmodemd directory and run
3. make KERNEL_VER=/lib/modules/2.6.21.1/build
4. make
5. make install
6. cd to ungrab-winmodem directory
7. make
8. make install
9. cp slmodem-2.9.11-20070430/scripts/slackware/rc.slmodemd /etc/rc.d/
10. edit /etc/rc.d/rc.slmodemd and add change SLMODEMD_DEVICE=/dev/slusb0 to
SLMODEMD_DEVICE=/dev/slamr0, and you can specify country SLMODEMD_COUNTRY=USA or YOUR_COUNTRY for the country code for your country.
11. add lines modprobe ungrab-winmodem, modprobe slamr in slmodemd_start() procedure
12. Run ifconfig eth0/ifconfig eth1
12. Configure KPPP to dialout
To complete Steps 10 and 11, you need an editor such as
kwrite, kate, mcedit, etc open rc.slmodemd and edit it and modify it by changing SLMODEMD_DEVICE=/dev/slusb0 to SLMODEMD_DEVICE=/dev/slamr0 and add the lines modprobe ungrab-winmodem, modprobe slamr right before if after the "{" in slmodemd_start() procedure. Also user is encouraged to run ifconfig eth0, ifconfig eth1, etc to achieve better connection.
Also, since Slax does not have wvdial and wvdialstreams, one has to use KPPP, if connection does not work and we get "no carrier" message, we have to configure KPPP to use init string
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 X3 &C1 &D2 +MS=90
which servers its purpose to connect. Thanks to slax devloper Tomas Matejicek for his hard work with slax and for including Development module to compile software that one needs to connect to internet.
Here's unmodified rc.slmodemd from slackware folder in slmodem-2.9.11-20070430 directory.

Now you can configure KPPP to dialout
Startup Dialup Internet Tool (KPPP)
Click on Configure
Select Manual Setup
Type Connection name and Phone Number
Then Click on Modems
Select Modems and put slmodemd in for Modem Name and ttySL0 for Modem device
Click then on Modem Tab and choose option Modem Commands
Click on Modem Commands and type
ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 X3 &C1 &D2 +MS=90as shown here
After that you are almost done.
Click on Misc options and choose options
"Dock into Panel" and
"Automatic redial on NO CARRIER"
As shown here
Now type in your login ID and password
Which looks like
Here the dialer KPPP is dialing out
Once you have connected successfully, you should be able to browse without any problems. As the following picture shows.
