I had similar problems as mentioned by other posters (see below for logs). After building sl-modem-daemon from source (version 2.9.11~20080817-4) I could connect to my ISP w/o any problems.
Here the log of my slmodemd with ALSA modem, which reports an error. With the SmartLink modem, I also got a segfault at the same place where the error occurs in the ALSA case. <235.687630> SmartLink Soft Modem: version 2.9.9e-pre1 Oct 5 2008 16:34:36 <235.703572> hw:1: startup modem... <235.703712> hw:1: update termios... symbolic link `/dev/ttySL0' -> `/dev/pts/0' created. modem `hw:1' created.
