Thanks for suggest, I will try alsa support late. However, I rolled back 
to slmodem 2.9.9d. it works. I narrow the prebloms down to 
/sbin/modprobe slamr, NOT WORK.

using 2.9.9d, instead of 2.9.10, following steps lead to dial up

after compilation and install

/sbin/modprobe slamr

/usr/sbin/slmodemd -c AUSTRALIA &

Using kppp and /dev/ttySL0 as modem device to dial up.
