Hi Jacques,

thanks for information. I already did and it works. I just find a price 
of approx. USD 20 for a dial-up modem driver a bit expensive, especially 
nowadays when we have DSL/Wifi and 3G connections. In fact, before 
running the analysis script, I was just curious how can I get my modem 
working.
Though I have a question. What exactly was meant by this part?

--->start
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
-->end

Is there at least a theoretical chance, that I can have it working 
without linuxant driver at full speed? That would be nice.

Thanks a have a nice day
Dali

You do not write if your modem works or if you need help to make it work.
In the first case, thanks for the information.
Otherwise use the Linuxant driver for Conexant HSF modems.
Just go to 
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php
Identify your need for kernel 2.6.17-10 with 386-type CPU.
Read the Installation instructions in the HSF area on the left, 
download, install.

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.
