Marco,

Thanks for points this potential source of alternate Conexant support for
It will be included in a scanModem update soon.

But note that the support is only confirmed for chipset 14f1:2f00 with
service up to a 2.6.17 Ubuntu breezy kernel.  It is doubtful that this
code will also support the Conexant  0x14f12bfa  chip increasing found
on many High Definition Audio cards
It would be useful to have further reports on other  chipsets this
code does or doesn't serve.

Dear all,
there exist an open source driver for Conexant softmodem, see

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
