RE: sl-modem-daemon_2.9.10+2.9.9d+e-pre2-5ubuntu4_i386.deb
will replace your version 2.9.11 with 2.9.10, but its scripts are otherwise=
 OK.
Copy over the /usr/sbin/slmodemd with the 2.9.11 version one from
slmodem-2.9.11-20080417.  Use

$ sudo gedit /etc/default/sl-modem-daemon
to change the COUNTRY setting form USA to ITALY.
That may help.
