drivers doesnt exist even the driver is installed perfectly


i installed smlink drivers V.90/92 modem internal[slmodem-2.9.10] perfectly after that i follow this instruction

1. Load modem driver.

Load your modem hardware specific kernel module:

# modprobe slamr

if you are using AMR/CNR/PCI modem, or

# modprobe slusb

if you are using SmartUSB56 Modem.

Note: this will be done automatically when modules were
configured for 'loading on demand'

Note: this is safe to load both 'alamr' and 'slusb' modules.

2. Run soft modem application.

# /usr/sbin/slmodemd [options] <device_name>

Where device name is appropriate device node for your modem
(look at output of 'dmesg' command).
Run '/usr/sbin/slmodemd --help' for details.

Examples:

# /usr/sbin/slmodemd --country=USA /dev/slamr0

, or for SmartUSB56 Modems:

# /usr/sbin/slmodemd --country=ITALY /dev/slusb0

3. Using the modem.

When 'slmodemd' is running this creates PTY (pseudo-terminal) to
emulate modem port device, also this creates symbolic link
like '/dev/ttySL0' (shown at startup).

Config your application to use this link '/dev/ttySL0' (or PTY node
itself) as modem port.

Note: Some application want 'to know' that they are working with
pseudo-terminal and may require additional configurations.

Known application notes:

- 'wvdial' requires option 'Carrier Check = no' in config file

- some versions of 'kppp' may not work properly with devices named
like '/dev/ttySL0'. To workaround this you may create symbolic link
'/dev/modem' ( # ln -s /dev/ttySL0 /dev/modem ) and use this link
as modem device with 'kppp'



after this itry to run the kppp but when i connect the /dev/modem which i created dont seem to exist and the '/dev/ttySL0' too

Please Help thanks
