Daniel, Argentina, PuppyLinux. Please Help me with ITU V.92
Sorry, my english is poor, because I speak spanish.
I has a laptop Acer 3690 runing PuppyLinux (2.16.1). The inf. of the box says
MODEM ITU V.92 compatible PTT. I download the scanModem software and run it.
Here I atach the ModemData.txt maked with the program. Someone can help me with
this modem ? Thanks to all. Regards Daniel.

Softmodem codec or Vendor from diagnostics:
from Archives: 14f1, a Conexant type,
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.

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.
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.
Start at http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf for
eventually download of a hsfmodem-SomeVersion.zip package with
SomeVersion containing your kernel_version 2.6.18.1 in the filename if possible.
These packages have compiled drivers. Otherwise download the generic
hsfmodem-Version.tar.gz package. Its usage will require compiling.

Completed candidate modem analyses.
A UDEV device file system is not active.
The kernel was compiled with gcc version 3.4.4 and a compiler is not installed
Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
gcc-3.4 make kernel-source-2.6.18.1
For Debian and some related distributions, a package kernel-kbuild-2.6-3 may be needed to support driver compiling
