Ajnos,

It is definitely NOT a Intel537 type modem.
You may as well unintstall those drivers.
Try to run the modem diagnostics under Microsoft, as described in the
SoftModem.txt.

Also from http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php
download the 	hsfmodem_7.60.00.02full_k2.6.17_10_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip
Under Linux unpack with:
$ unzip hsf*.zip
Try an install with:
$ sudo hsf*.deb
It it succeeds, it is a Conexant chipset modem.

Marv,

The modem is not USB it is an internal partial hardware modem. It works by
hardware but has software for extra features but I think the core dialing is
done by the hardware. I have run Scan Modem again and attached are the
dmesg.txt and ModemData.txt. When I tried to install a driver as per these
instructions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto/Intel537EP
as soon as I typed "make 537" it failed to build the driver. The error
returned was that it couldn't find 537core.lib. Which driver should I be
using for the type of Modem that has come up in the txt files? Or if it is a
proper chipset modem, what are the commands to configure it? This modem is a
new one that I had put in since I last sent you the modem data files.

Regards,
Jason
