It is executed by rc.sysinit (if it exists) early enough in the process that the module will be loaded by the time slmodemd is started. And it won't get nuked next time you upgrade initscripts. Alternatively, you could build slmodem using the ALSA driver. I had it working in FC2 with no problems, and no extra modules needed.
