Hi,
it seems related to slamr module building. The slmodemd did not started. Thus, I can't find any /dev/tyySL0
here is error output.
Please check for me

# /usr/sbin/slmodemd -c AUSTRALIA error: mdm setup: cannot open dev `/dev/slamr0': No such device or address error: cannot setup device `/dev/slamr0'
#/sbin/modprobe slamr
FATAL: Error inserting slamr (/lib/modules/2.6.10-1.770_FC3/extra/slamr.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

Thw slamr driver is a proprietary binary-only module. When FC introduced ALSA support, I switched to the ALSA drivers and have not had any problems.
Build slmodemd in the modem/ subdirectory with:
make SUPPORT_ALSA=1
Start slmodemd in the same directory (as root) with:
./slmodemd --alsa -c AUSTRALIA
(or install slmodemd in /usr/sbin or /usr/local/sbin (probably better) and start it there the same way. You may need to modprobe snd_intel8x0m, but you do not need to modprobe slamr.
Note that not all PCTel modems are supported this way. In fact, not all are supported by slamr either. If you still have problems, visit www.linmodems.org and check out the scanModem utility and other resources there.
