Finally, I got it working. The only strange issue is a CPU load of ~50%
for approx. 30 seconds periodically every few minutes while the modem
is online.

Just for the records: I'm using slmdm-2.7.9.tar.gz and kernel 2.4.20 on
an A30 (2652-3VG). The Modem has this lspci -v output:

00:1f.6 Modem: Intel Corp. 82801CA/CAM AC'97 Modem (rev 01) (prog-if 00
[Generic])
        Subsystem: IBM ThinkPad A/T/X Series
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 11
        I/O ports at 2400 [size=256]
        I/O ports at 2000 [size=128]

And the same with lspci -nv:

00:1f.6 Class 0703: 8086:2486 (rev 01)
        Subsystem: 1014:0223
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 11
        I/O ports at 2400 [size=256]
        I/O ports at 2000 [size=128]
