The system doesnt detect the modem at all..."

May I please ask:
1-WHICH modem driver, complete file name, did you download?
2-What did you do with it, step by step please?
3-As you say that the system does not detect the modem, could you
please run again the last command (which? probably hsfconfig?) as
follows:       last_command  | tee problem.txt
where you replace   last_command   by the actual command given such as 
hsfconfig?
4-Send us the file problem.txt

Thanks - Jacques

PS: By the way, Linuxant is in Canada,
