    Softmodem codec or Vendor from diagnostics: 
                              from    Archives: CXT, a
Conexant type,
      CXT is  a generic for all CXTnumbers, with 
Linuxant hsfmodem software support.                  

 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.
 -----------------------------------------
Support type needed or chipset:	hsfmodem


The diagnostic outputs for this softmodem section have
their raw information in
folders and text files under /proc/asound/ which you
can browse. The information
is from files:
	/proc/asound/pcm
-------------------------------
00-00: ALI 5451 : ALI 5451 : playback 32 : capture 1

	/proc/asound/modules
-------------------------------
 0 snd_ali5451
and from the command:
	aplay -l | grep -i modem


----------------end Softmodem section --------------

 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_k2.6.20_15_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip

                           with 2.6.20_15_generic
equivalent to 2.6.20-15-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.

Writing Conexant.txt


 Completed candidate modem analyses.

 The base of the UDEV device file system is:
/dev/.udev

 Versions adequately match for the compiler installed:
4.1.2
             and the compiler used in kernel assembly:
4.1.2

 Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not
manifestly ready!

 If compiling is necessary packages must be installed,
providing:
	 linux-headers-2.6.20-15-generic

In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem,
see:

To enable dialout without Root permission do:
	$ su - root  (not for Ubuntu)
        sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
	sudo chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd

In case of a message like:

Read Modem/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM
channels: eth0 eth0:avah
Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.

 Don't worry about the following, it is for the
experts
 should trouble shooting be necessary.
