Alex,

In principle, your modem
CLASS="Class 0780:
NAME="Communication controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. AC'97 Modem Controller "
PCIDEV=1106:3068
SUBSYS=1019:b320
Codec=SIL21, for pctel

 should be supported by the snd-via82xx-modem driver,
which is why it is autoloaded at startup.
It is complemented  the version 2.9.11 slmodemd provided by:
--------
 Download from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
 the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz having a compiled slmodemd. Unpack
under Linux with:
       $ tar zxf SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz
 and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem is setup with command:
       sudo slmodemd -c SUSA --alsa modem:1
 reporting dynamic creation of ports:
       /dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N   , with N some number
 Read DOCs/Smartlink.txt and Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt for follow
through guidance.
----------
EIther unintstall of blacklist the slamr driver if on your SYsem as it
may be interferring.  Within
The /proc/asound/pcm file reports:
-----------------------
00-01: VIA 8235 : VIA 8235 : playback 1 : capture 1
00-00: VIA 8235 : VIA 8235 : playback 4 : capture 1
there was expected another line like
01-00  VIA82xx modem.

The current slamr drive could be tried as a last resort only for this modem.
