ACLink modem

I have an HP notebook sporting the Conexant ACLink modem. I downloaded the modem-specific/kernel-specific driver and installed it. Before that I was getting an error for the 'slammo' module which, of course, is non-existent on my box. Afterward, the driver was recognized by the 'hardware information' engine but the 'slammo' module was still listed as not active. What do I need to do for the modem to be useful? Thanks... ...CH
