If you want to use it in runlevel 3 (full multiuser mode) and 5 (X11), 
then you have to put a symlink Sxxslmodemd into /etc/rc[3,5].d/ and 
symlinks Kyyslmodemd into /etc/rc[0,1,2,4,6].d/ with xx high enough, 
that all services your service (slmodemd) are started before (their 
number after S is lower than xx) and yy low enough, that all this other 
services are stopped afterwards (ther number after K is higher than yy).

But as written in the other post, let chkconfig to this work for you and 
just look for nice xx and yy.
