That string is autoamitcally generated by minicom.  You can get minicom to
sent it with the key sequence I mentioned.

Did you run "make install" as root after running make to compile the
drivers?  Do you have the device file /dev/slamr0?  (What is the output of
"ls /dev/slamr*"?)  The "make install" creates that device.  You need for
it to exist before you start loading stuff.  (This is all in the README
file.)

If that is done, then you should be able to "modprobe slamr".  If that
works then you can start "slmodemd --country=whatever /dev/slamr0".

If that all succeeds, try minicom again.

Try the above and let us know at what point it breaks.

I have the Intel chipset, but for me, "lspci -v" shows the audio and
modem devices separately:

  00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB (ICH4) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01)
          Subsystem: IBM: Unknown device 0537
          Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 11
          I/O ports at 1c00
          I/O ports at 18c0 [size=64]
          Memory at c0000c00 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512]
          Memory at c0000800 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256]
          Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2

  00:1f.6 Modem: Intel Corp. 82801DB (ICH4) AC'97 Modem Controller (rev 01) (prog-if 00 [Generic])
          Subsystem: IBM: Unknown device 0524
          Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 11
          I/O ports at 2400
          I/O ports at 2000 [size=128]
          Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2

I don't know what the expected output is for your machine.
