Neil, ScanModem reports that you have a Conexant Modem and gives the following instructions <begin QUOTE> Support type needed or chipset: hsfmodem 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.

download hsfmodem_VersionSpec_k2.6.10_5_386_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip with 2.6.10_5_386 equivalent to 2.6.10-5-386, your kernel version. Under Linux unpack with: $ unzip hsfmodem*.zip Then install with: $ sudo dpkg -i hsfmodem*.deb Subsequently, the modem should be found with $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf Edit in your personal information with: $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf and try dialing out with: $ sudo wvdial. See Testing.txt for details. Read Conexant.txt </end QUOTE> hope this helps, Antonio On 7/19/07, neil shah <neil_capricon_111@xxxxxxx> wrote:
