So, I guess that you want to read what to do next.
See attached, plus HSF driver for HDA device.

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.
But for High Definition Audio cards hosting Conexant softmodems, and
kernels before 2.6.16, a patched version must be used and is available
at http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/hsfhda/ . Under Linux do:
$ tar zxf hsf*.tar.gz
$ cd hsfmodem-7.47.00.03full
Look around:
$ ls
Install the package with:
$ sudo make install
$ sudo hsfconfig
should complete the setup. See wvdial.txt for follow through information.

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
The kernel was compiled with gcc version 4.0.3 and a compiler is not installed
If compiling a modem driver proves to be necessary, one of the two procedures must be followed.
If not yet on the Internet, put the Dapper install CD in the drive
Open a terminal and therein:
$ sudo apt-get install gcc-4.0 make
Additionally the package linux-headers-2.6.15-26-386 must be downloaded.
Go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and search for linux-headers-2.6.15-26-386
After downloading, it can be installed with:
$ sudo dpkg -i linux-header*.deb
Or alternatively if online through Ethernet do:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential
will do all the necessary installations mentioned above.
In either installation case, set a symbolic link which will be expected later:
$ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 /usr/bin/gcc
After check with:
$ ls -l /usr/bin/gcc*
which should display:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2006-07-09 21:53 /usr/bin/gcc -> /usr/bin/gcc-4.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 93584 2006-04-20 18:22 /usr/bin/gcc-4.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 16245 2006-04-20 18:13 /usr/bin/gccbug-4.0
Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
gcc-4.0 make linux-headers-2.6.15-26-386

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.
