Beagle,
Soft modems can interfere with one another. While trying setups, it
is advisable to only have one type physically attached at a time. If
your external modem is a serial type, It should be detected by:
$ su - root
# wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
With 2.6.15 and later kernels, the ltmodem+ltserial drivers are
obsolete for the 11c1:044c Communication controller: Agere
Systems LT WinModem
You have to switch to the successor martian code package at
http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/martian/
Remove the ltmodem+ltserial drivers before trying to use the
martian_dev driver with martian_modem utility
However you will have to install additional compiling support in your
SimplyMepis
Check with their support how to prepare the kernel header set
correponding to kernel-source-2.6.15-27-desktop. Additionaly you will
have to install a libc6-dev package (or similar), putting additional
headers in /usr/include/
This may cure the
ATDT566-0005
CONNECT 24000 NoEC
but don't use a dash, i.e, in /etc/wvdial,conf use:
Phone = ATDT5660005
The modem
14f1:2f00 Communication controller: Conexant HSF 56k HSFi Modem
should be supported by the generic hsfmodem package from
www.linuxant.com
The same issues as above for compiling support apply.
Since the Martian drivers are free, best to test them first.

Ok, I'll try to make this brief. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Have 3 modems. 2 PCIs and 1 external
Modem#1 stopped picking up dial tone after installing modem #2
Bought #2 because it was labeled for linux use. Indeed has provided linux drivers.
Running SimplyMepis 6.04 beta which provides its own drivers
Modem connects but times itself out.
Modem #3 (External serial) Linux won't even reconize it.
Back to Modem #1 Found drivers for it, but won't pickup dial tone period.
After 3 weeks of research and aggravation, I'm right back to where I started.

Support type needed or chipset: hsfmodem
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.
Start at http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf for
eventually download of a hsfmodem-SomeVersion.zip package with
SomeVersion containing your kernel_version 2.6.15-27-desktop in the filename if possible.
These packages have compiled drivers. Otherwise download the generic
hsfmodem-Version.tar.gz package. Its usage will require compiling.

Vendor 11c1 is Lucent Technologies or subsidiary Agere Systems, Inc. Their Linux
code developer/maintainer is Soumyendu Sarkar. Support for a chipset and its
continued maintenance is only initiated at the request of a major chipset buyer,
or comparable sponsor. Several different modem chipset types are produced,
and two have support under Linux:

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.0.3
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.0.3
Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
kernel-source-2.6.15-27-desktop
For Debian and some related distributions, a package kernel-kbuild-2.6-3 may be needed to support driver compiling
