Nick,

Please completely uninstall the slamr + ungrabmodem drivers.
They cannot serve and may even be blocking a full diagnostic readout
by the snd-intel8x0m driver.
It is still possible that the mc97 style modem Controller is hosting a
Conexant chip, which would return a
CXTnumber diagnostic.
It so you would need the Linuxant.com software.

Again run:
$ ./scanModem
with the slamr+ungrabmodem unloaded if not completely uninstalled
and send it back to the List (not me directly)

Do not yet uninstall the sl-modem-daemon package. If snd-intel8x0m
does prove to be the right driver, the sl-modem-daemon does the setup
for you.  For this driver,
$ sudo /etc/init.d/sl-modem-daemon restart
may be necessary between successive dialout attempts
