i've typed out this:

sudo gedit /etc/default/sl-modem-daemon
and change the default country from YOUR_COUNTRY to your NEW_ZEALAND.

Then inform the slmodemd by rebooting or
$ sudo /etc/init.d/sl-modem-daemon restart

$ ls -l /dev/ttySL0 /dev/pts/* /dev/slamr0
should report these ports setup, and also after any reboot,
with * being some number N, /dev/tttySL0 -->/dev/pts/N is a symbolic
link to the real port, some /dev/pts/N

So to dail out, all that should now be needed is
$ sudo wvdial

successfully linked to /dev/ttySL0 but don't quite know what is going on with the rest.....
BUT DIALING OUT OK BUT THEN NO CARRIER ISSUE...DISCONNECTS AFTER DIALLING DOESN'T REACH VERIFICATION OF LOGIN DETAILS

Moved PCI MODEM to slot 2 now....

Do I need to re-install the drivers again?....I have also removed the dkms and sl-modem* drivers and utility off the system but not by sudo apt-get autoremove or purge
