Ok, well now we have something to go on.
It looks like you are going to need to recompile your kernel
Have you done this before?
I did a little googling for you, and I think you will need the following kernel options:
(some will already be selected)
Code maturity level options
[*] Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers
Loadable module support
[*] Enable loadable module support
[*] Set version information on all module symbols
[*] Kernel module loader
Networking options
<*> Packet socket
<*> Unix domain sockets
[*] TCP/IP networking
[*] Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)
[M] RFC1483/2684 Bridged protocols
USB support
<*> Support for USB
[*] Preliminary USB device filesystem
<M> UHCI
<M> OHCI
Network Device Support
<M > PPP (point-to-point protocol) support
<M> PPP Deflate compression
<M> PPP over Ethernet (EXPERIMENTAL)
<M> PPP over ATM
where <*> is a selected kernel option, and <M> is a module
Do you feel confident enough to have a go at this? I dont really see any other way,
it is not too difficult anyway. The kernel thread started by DaOne at the top of this section should help you.
Hopefully, then your driver will compile. You may also need linux-atm library files installed, this chap
seems to know a lot about it:

I do not have a usb modem myself, so I can't really help too much, or even be sure
that I am on the right track but hopefully someone else can chip in with some more info.
I think you will have to persevere to get this working on slackware, but I am sure it is possible.
