Look in your own mail for the line starting with
Formal support for Conexant chipset modems
All the rest is written there.

The PCI slot 00:1f.6 of the modem card may be disabled early in
a bootup process,  but then enabled later. If modem drivers load
but the  modem is not responsive, read Bootup.txt about possible fixes.
Send dmesg.txt along with ModemData.txt to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
if help is needed.

     CXT is  a generic for all CXTnumbers, with  Linuxant hsfmodem

Lacking a dsp (digital signal processing) chip, the modem is a software
intensive or "softmodem" type. Its primary controller manages the traffic
with the CPU. But the software needed is specified in the Subsystem.

Formal support for Conexant chipset modems are available ONLY through
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers.  Read Conexant.txt for details.
and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.  Driver speed
is limited to
14,400 until a key is purchased.  There is NO freeware alternative.
There are two support package types: hsfmodem  and hcflinmodem.
http://www.lorenzobettini.it/linux/LinuxSonyVaioVGN-S5VP_B reports a
problem and solution in stalling a key, after testing of the free low
speed download.

The hsfmodem package serves a great variety of Conexant chipset modems.
From  http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php
download hsfmodem_VersionSpec_k2.6.17_10_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip
                          with 2.6.17_10_generic equivalent to
2.6.17-10-generic, your kernel version.
Under Linux unpack with:
$ unzip hsfmodem*.zip
Then install with:
$ sudo dpkg -i hsfmodem*.deb
Subsequently, the modem should be found with
$ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
Edit in your personal information with:
$ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
and try dialing out with:
$ sudo wvdial.
See Testing.txt  for details.
