Sorry, I forgot to attach Modemdata.txt which I did on knoppix
Here it is

Softmodem codec or Vendor from diagnostics: CXT30, a Conexant type,
from Archives: CXT, a Conexant type,
CXT is a generic for all CXTnumbers, with Linuxant hsfmodem software
support.
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: hsfmodem
The diagnostic outputs for this softmodem section have their raw information
in
folders and text files under /proc/asound/ which you can browse. The
information
is from files:
/proc/asound/pcm
-------------------------------
01-00: ATI IXP MC97 : ATI IXP MC97 : playback 1 : capture 1
00-00: ATI IXP AC97 : ATI IXP AC97 : playback 1 : capture 1
/proc/asound/modules
-------------------------------
0 snd_atiixp
1 snd_atiixp_modem
/proc/asound/card1/codec97#0/mc97#0-0+regs
-------------------------------
0:7c = 4358 and 0:7e = 5430
which were translated from hexadecimal code into: CXT30
/proc/asound/card1/codec97#0/mc97#0-0

Extended modem ID: codec=0 LIN1
and from the command:
aplay -l | grep -i modem

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 2.6.17 in the filename if
possible.
These packages have compiled drivers. Otherwise download the generic
hsfmodem-Version.tar.gz package. Its usage will require compiling.
Read Conexant.txt
Writing Conexant.txt
Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
/dev/.udevdb
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.0.4
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.0.4
Compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.0
kernel_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.17/build
For Debian and some related distributions, a package kernel-kbuild-2.6-3 may
be needed to support driver compiling
