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.

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:
