Re: problem w. apparently new modem on vaio vgn-sz4mn

Support type needed or chipset:	hsfmodem

 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. 
 From  
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php
 download
hsfmodem_VersionSpec_k2.6.17_10_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip

                           with 2.6.17_10_generic
equivalent to 
2.6.17-10-generic, your kernel version.
 Under Linux unpack with:
 $ unzip hsfmodem*.zip
 Then install with:
 $ sudo dpkg -i hsfmodem*.deb
 Subsequently, the modem should be found with
 $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
 Edit in your personal information with:
 $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
 and try dialing out with:
 $ sudo wvdial.
 See Testing.txt  for details.
 
 Read Conexant.txt

Antonio
