Your modem is a Conexant HSF served by the Linuxant driver HSF.

ModemData.txt says:
 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_k2.6.20_4_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip
with 2.6.20_4_generic equivalent to
                                2.6.20-4-generic, your kernel version.
(For Marv only: can you explain these last two lines?)

which is right for kernels up to 2.6.17-10 only.

The place to download in your case is therefore: http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads.php
and you need the file labelled
DPKG 	x86 	hsfmodem_7.47.00.07full_i386.deb.zip
(use on Debian-based systems)

The instructions required to install the file are given in the HSF menu on the left side of the screen, following a link named "Installation".

Salve, allego il mio file ModemData,
qualcuno può aiutarmi con l'identificazione dei moduli di cui ho bisogno
per farlo funzionare?

Il mio computer è un portatile Vaio Vgn Fe 11S , l'architettura audio,
che integra il softmodem è la ICH7, che usa il modulo kernel
snd-hda-intel che fa parte di ALSA. Utilizzo la beta di Feisty Fawn
(Ubuntu 7) con kernel 2.6.20, versione ALSA 1.0.13 ( a quanto pare dalla
v. 13 il mio modem dovrebbe essere supportato, eppure non è rilevato in
automatico dal sistema).

Grazie a tutti (PS . Rispondetemi in privato, non sono iscritto a questa

8086:27d8 is a High Definition Audio card, possibly hosting a soft modem.


The VendorID 0x14f12bfa softmodem chip is in principle supported by the snd-hda-intel driver included within the ALSA audio+modem driver set. However recognition of 0x14f12bfa first begins with ALSA version 1.0.13. There are instructions for upgrading snd-hda-intel and its
dependent driver set at http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-fourth/msg0????.html
The ? in the device designation in hw:0,? will be manifest after the driver update.
Typically ? is in the range of 0-6 .

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_k2.6.20_4_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip with 2.6.20_4_generic equivalent to 2.6.20-4-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.

 If you do not already know, find out in your ModemData.txt if your modem is of 
type HSF or of type HCF.
 In the following, HxF stands for the one to be used.
 Note down your distribution, your processor, and your kernel (shown in the 
 System Information section of ModemData.txt).
-Go to http://www.linuxant.com/drivers
-Find the HxF menu in the left part of the screen.
-Read README.
-Read INSTALLATION.
-Click DOWNLOAD.
-Accept conditions.
-Find text: "You can download HxF modem packages from the driver
            download page." and click on that link.
-I very strongly recommend NOT TO LET YOURSELF BE ATTRACTED BY THE AUTOMATIC 
INSTALLER cnxtinstall.run. Just think: you need a connection to be able to use 
it, and this is what you do not have yet. Use the direct download page.
Its address is http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads.php
Using it will not save you any time, on the contrary, because you will not know
what to look for and do with it.
-Since you have noted your distribution, your processor, and your kernel 
 (shown in the System Information section of ModemData.txt), identify the
 matching file.
-Download the matching file.
-Read again and, if you read this text under Windows, print the installation
 instructions matching the kind of driver file which you downloaded.
-If downloaded elsewhere (Windows on same computer or using an other computer),
 copy the downloaded file to your Linux working space.
-Now, under Linux, just follow the Linuxant installation instructions.

 NOTE:  the space on a floppy disk is sufficient for the driver file. This
is the simplest way to download under Windows on the same computer or to   
download on an other computer.
