USB-Modem, slusb and kernels later than 2.6.24

Hi,

the last kernel slusb worked with was 2.6.18.2-34-default, Suse 10.2
with slmodem-2.9.10.

I compiled the latest version on SuSe 11.4. But slusb wasn't compiled,
only slamr. I tediously searched the site of linmodem, but didn't find
an answer whats to do. SuSe 11.4 comes with kernel 2.6.37

The Modem in question is a Fujitsu Siemens USB-Modem.
As I said, it works fine with older kernels and older Versions of slmodem.

If there is some programming to be done, please let me know. Though I am
much better in Perl than in C/C++, if necessary I would try to solve the
problems.

Could somebody give me a short briefing?

Greetings

Bernd
