You can check that the module is loaded with "lsmod".

Then you can start the modem daemon with "slmodemd --alsa".  I do this 
from the slmodemd-2.9.10/modem/ directory with "./slmodemd --alsa" when I 
want the modem, but you can install the daemon in a system binary 
directory like /usr/local/sbin/ and start it in /etc/rc.local if you want.

When the daemon starts, it reports:

# ./slmodemd --alsa
SmartLink Soft Modem: version 2.9.10 Feb 24 2005 17:54:46
symbolic link `/dev/ttySL0' -> `/dev/pts/4' created.
modem `modem:1' created. TTY is `/dev/pts/4'
Use `/dev/ttySL0' as modem device, Ctrl+C for termination.

You can then configure your modem tools to use /dev/ttySL0 as the modem 
device.
