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.

Regards,

Antonio
