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. 14f1:1085 could be either a HSF or HCF Conexant modem, because of ambiguous use of the PCI ID by modem assemblers. First try the hcflinodem package. If the installation aborts, then use the hsfmodem package. Read Conexant.txt for details and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance. The hsfmodem package serves a great variety of Conexant chipset modems. Start at http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf for eventually download of a hsfmodem-SomeVersion.zip package with SomeVersion containing your kernel_version 2.6.18.2-34-default in the filename if possible. These packages have compiled drivers. Otherwise download the generic hsfmodem-Version.tar.gz package. Its usage will require compiling. Read Conexant.txt Writing Conexant.txt Completed candidate modem analyses. The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.1.2 and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.1.2 Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready! If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing: kernel-source-2.6.18.2-34-default Checking pppd properties: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root dialout 295488 РќРѕСЏ 25 22:50 /usr/sbin/pppd In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see: http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/archive-sixth/msg02637.html To enable dialout without Root permission do: $ su - root (not for Ubuntu) chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd or under Ubuntu related Linuxes chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd Checking settings of: /etc/ppp/options noipdefault noauth crtscts lock modem asyncmap 0 nodetach lcp-echo-interval 30 lcp-echo-failure 4 lcp-max-configure 60 lcp-restart 2 idle 600 noipx file /etc/ppp/filters In case of a message like: Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-sixth/msg04656.html Read Modem/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0 Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.
