Dear all, there exist an open source driver for Conexant softmodem, see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=180632 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto/Conexant Of course this driver is for experts only at the moment; but it's worth to be cited, and someone could improve it in case that he is aware that this driver exist and the work has already began. This driver should be cited on the web pages about linmodems, and the scanModem should cite in a better way: although the driver is cited in the file Modem/Conexant.txt produced by scanModem, the file Modem/ModemData.txt says: " 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." which is misleading. Best regards, Marco Costantini
