Ubuntu 8.10 64 bit modem problems.

[Stephen]

Hello

My modem is a SM56 data/fax by Motorola. I have been trying to get it 
set up so I can send and receive faxes. I found some information about 
slamr(kernal) but I can't seem to find any more info.

I have downloaded slamr-2.6.27-11-generic with the install instructions. 
Every time I try to install it I get a bunch of errors and it doesn't 
work. I downloaded slamr-2.6.27-7-generic and booted my system with 
kernal 2.6.27-7 and I get an error message that I need the 64bit 
version. I did a google search and couldn't find any 64 bit modem drivers.

This is what happened when I tried to install slamr-2.6.27-11-generic;
