After downloading and unzipping slamr 2.6.24-19, I ran setup and copied down the output of the setup.sh.

Looks like im going to have to wait for someone with a AMD64 system to compile slamr, so it can run on my hardware. I don't think changing the modem will achieve anything since the modem driver itself is written for 32 bit systems.
