Lorenzo,
Thanks for this information.
But it does happen that "the same machine" in the sense for example of
"Sony VGN-BX387XP" is sold with different components in there, such as
different modem chipsets, enough to make a modem work or not.
If you read specifications, you will always see "subject to change
without warning". A fire or a strike, for example, in the factory which
makes one modem may force a computer manufacturer to use an another
chipset ...
This is why, in first approximation, the parameters needed to make a
winmodem work under Linux are the chipset, the Linux distribution, the
kernel, very much more than the exact manufacturer model.
I am not sure, though, that I correctly understood what you had in mind
when writing your message.
Ciao - Jacques

Eric,
You need the Linuxant driver for HSF modems.
No other driver will work.
Please read the attached instructions to get guidance.
Remember: HSF, Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS, kernel 2.6.15-27-686
There are detailed instructions for installation in the HSF "frame"
(margin) at http://www.linuxant.com/drivers
For your kind of modem a small adjustment to the software may be needed,
I do not remember for sure.
this is not exactly the same laptop

but I use hsf modem too,
hope this helps
