Please provide any independent information available
on your modem.
If your modem is mounted on an ISA card, scanModem
could not access it.
If an alternative boot into Microsoft windows can be
done, do mouse
clicks on:
Start > Settings > Control Panel > Classical View

expand the graphic. Manufacturer information may be
displayed. For example, CXT
stands for Conexant. Click the Diagnostics Tab. Record
any hardware ID or vendor

Next do the Query Modem and record the ATI
specifications displayed such as:
ATI3 - Agere SoftModem Version 2.1.22
ATI5 - 2.1.22, AMR Intel MB, AC97 ID:SIL REV:0x27
Try to identify the modem setup file, with name
perhaps MODEM.INF.

Softmodem codec or Vendor from diagnostics:
from Archives:
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:
Support can likely be achieved through two mutually
exclusive alternatives:
1) An ALSA modem driver plus slmodemd. Read
Smartlink.txt for details, and
to test get the package SLMODEMD-1.0.13.tar.gz from:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
2) The hsfmodem software for Conexant chipset modems:
Read Conexant.txt
An ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) modem
driver: snd-intel8x0m
provides Low Level support enabling contact with the
modem hardware.
For all BUT Conexant chip soft modems (using hsfmodem
software)
complementary High Level support is through a
Smartlink utility: slmodemd
Download from
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
the package SLMODEMD-1.0.13.tar.gz having a compiled
slmodemd. Unpack under Linux with:
$ tar zxf SLMODEMD-1.0.13.tar.gz
and read instructions therein. But briefly, the modem
is setup with command:
sudo slmodemd -c YOUR_COUNTRY --alsa modem:1
reporting dynamic creation of ports:
/dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/pts/N , with N some number
Read Smartlink.txt and Modem/YourSystem.txt for
follow through guidance.

Freeware support may be available for a few Conexant
chipset modems
with support confirmed only for the PCI_id chipset
14f1:2f00.
See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=180632
Otherwise 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.
