Double click to expand the graphic. Manufacturer information may be displayed. For example, CXT stands for Conexant. Click the Diagnostics Tab. Record any hardware ID or vendor and device information. Next do the Query Modem and record the ATI specifications displayed such as: ATI3 - Agere SoftModem Version 2.1.22 ATI5 - 2.1.22, AMR Intel MB, AC97 ID:SIL REV:0x27 Try to identify the modem setup file, with name perhaps MODEM.INF. If may contain chipset Vendor informaton. 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.
