In the following, HxF stands for the one to be used. Note down your distribution, your processor, and your kernel (shown in the System Information section of ModemData.txt). -Go to http://www.linuxant.com/drivers -Find the HxF menu in the left part of the screen. -Read README. -Read INSTALLATION. -Click DOWNLOAD. -Accept conditions. -Find text: "You can download HxF modem packages from the driver download page." and click on that link. -I very strongly recommend NOT TO LET YOURSELF BE ATTRACTED BY THE AUTOMATIC INSTALLER cnxtinstall.run. Just think: you need a connection to be able to use it, and this is what you do not have yet. Use the direct download page. Its address is http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads.php Using it will not save you any time, on the contrary, because you will not know what to look for and do with it. -Since you have noted your distribution, your processor, and your kernel (shown in the System Information section of ModemData.txt), identify the matching file. -Download the matching file. -Read again and, if you read this text under Windows, print the installation instructions matching the kind of driver file which you downloaded. -If downloaded elsewhere (Windows on same computer or using an other computer), copy the downloaded file to your Linux working space. -Now, under Linux, just follow the Linuxant installation instructions. NOTE: the space on a floppy disk is sufficient for the driver file. This is the simplest way to download under Windows on the same computer or to download on an other computer.
