I download linux driver slmodem-2.9.10.tar.gz from smartlink official site, copy it to my /tmp, unpack the tar, install it sucessfully following the instruction in README.
I'm new to linux, so I don't know to config modem country as mentioned in README by "Use AT+GCI=<T.35 country code> command to setup country".
So I skipped this and go on with the next command. Till now I can't use the modem yet. Here I appended outputs and some informations about my system.
At the end of this mail, I enclosed with contents of README in slmodem-2.9.10.tar.gz. I hope that you can give me some hint to solve this problem as early as possible! Thanks!

Smart Link Soft Modem for Linux
-------------------------------
Introduction
============
This is Smart Link Soft Modem for Linux version 2.9. It provides
full-featured 56K Voice Fax Modem.
This is implemented as generic application (slmodemd) and set of
hardware specific kernel-space drivers (slamr, slusb).
ALSA modem drivers may be used instead of proprietary ones (see ALSA mode).
*****omitted
Supported Hardware
==================
HAMR5600 based AMR/CNR/MDC/ACR modem cards on the following Southbridge
chips:

Installation
============
1. Unpack tar.gz package file:
$ gzip -dc slmodem-2.9.X.tar.gz | tar xf -
2. 'cd' to package directory:
$ cd slmodem-2.9.X
3. Review and edit 'Makefile' (if need):
In many cases you will need to correct path to your local kernel
source tree:
KERNEL_DIR=/path/to/linux
Default KERNEL_DIR is '/lib/modules/<kerne-version>/build'. Many Linux
Distributions use directory '/usr/src/linux-<version>' also.
Note: If you are using Linux kernel 2.4, only header files should be
available for build in $(KERNEL_DIR)/include
Another way to pass right value KERNEL_DIR is to use command line
parameter while running 'make':
$ make KERNEL_DIR=/path/to/linux ...
4. Run 'make' command to compile package:
$ make
5. Install. As 'root' user run:
# make install
It will install:
- application 'slmodemd' under '/usr/sbin' directory
- hardware specific drivers (kernel modules) 'slamr' and 'slusb'
under conventional kernel modules directory
- character device nodes '/dev/slamr0-3' with major number 212
(for pci modems) and '/dev/slusb0-3' with major number 213
(for usb modems).
- config modules for autoloading (by editing file '/etc/modules.conf')
(only with 2.4 kernels)
6. Config modem country.
Use AT+GCI=<T.35 country code> command to setup country.
Also you can setup default modem country by passing command line
parameter '--country=MY_COUNTRY' to program 'slmodemd'.
See output of 'slmodemd --countrylist' for a list of supported
country names and T.35 country codes (see also 'slmodemd --help').
Note: Command ATI7 shows currently installed country setting.
8. Uninstallation.
In package directory just type:
# make uninstall
Getting Started
===============
After successful installation and configuration:
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'
4. Startup automation.
There are examples of startup scripts in 'scripts' directory.
ALSA mode
=========
ALSA has the built-in modem drivers included in 'alsa-driver' >= 1.0.2
and in Linux kernel >= 2.6.5. Currently there is 'intel8x0m' (snd-intel8x0m)
modem driver, which supports ICH based AC97 modems (MC97).
Recent 'alsa-driver' (>=1.0.6) has also support for NVidia NForce
(snd-intel8x0m) and ATI IXP (snd-atiixp-modem) based modems.
1. Configure your kernel and enable ALSA and ICH based modem support
( 'Device Drivers' -> 'Sound' -> 'Advanced Linux Sound Architecture' ->
'PCI devices' -> 'Intel i8x0/MX440; AMD768/8111 modems' ) .
2. Build and install kernel and modules as usual (make , make modules_install,
etc.). ICH modem driver modem module name is 'snd-intel8x0m'
(if was configured as module).
3. Build application 'slmodemd' with ALSA support. For this in
slmodem-2.9.x dir:
$ cd modem
$ make SUPPORT_ALSA=1
This will build 'slmodemd' with ALSA support. If compilation is failed
review Makefile (near ALSA_SUPPORT condition) and define right library
and/or CFLAGS
4. Use option '--alsa' when running 'slmodemd' and ALSA conventional
device name ('hw:0' or 'hw:1' for instance). If modem support in
the kernel was enabled as module module 'snd-intel8x0m' should be loaded.
Note: Recent version of 'alsa-lib' (>= 1.0.6) has built-in "modem" device
name support ('modem:0', 'modem:1', etc). It is recommended to use
those names with modems (mandatory with ATI IXP modems).
Note: When using ALSA modem driver you don't need to load other
modules ('slamr').
