I'm not a soundmodem expert, but I'm certain networking devices will
be absent from /dev. If 'ifconfig sm0' gives you an error, then the
kernel doesn't know what sm0 is, so I'd guess the soundmodem stuff is not
present in the kernel (or the module isn't loaded) or not yet configured.
That should give you a place to start..
Back when I tried the soundmodem stuff I used the information in
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/soundmodem.txt, which worked
perfectly.
Good luck.
