Troy As Jacques advises, hsfmodem software is needed for your Conexant soft modem. But under Dapper you will have to compile drivers requiring:
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.
This preparing for compiling is necessary because
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 run driver compilation and complete the setup.
See wvdial.txt for follow through information. If it is not difficult for you to burn the more recent Ubuntu Edgy CD, you may as well install the current Edgy rather than continue with the your current older Dapper. Under Edgy with its 2.6.17 kernel, there is a current package at http://www.linuxant.com which can be installed without compiling. If you choose to install Ubunutu Edgy, afterwards run scanModem again and it will output the proper guidance for Edgy.

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.
