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
-------------------------------
00-00: Intel ICH : Intel 82801CA-ICH3 : playback 1 : capture 1
00-01: Intel ICH - MIC ADC : Intel 82801CA-ICH3 - MIC ADC : capture 1
01-00: Intel ICH - Modem : Intel 82801CA-ICH3 Modem - Modem : playback 1 : capture 1

-------------------------------
0 snd_intel8x0
1 snd_intel8x0m
/proc/asound/card1/codec97#0/mc97#1-1+regs
-------------------------------
0:7c = 4358 and 0:7e = 5422
which were translated from hexadecimal code into: CXT22
/proc/asound/card1/codec97#0/mc97#1-1

Extended modem ID: codec=1 LIN1
and from the command:

Writing Intel.txt
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 2.6.13-15.16-default in the filename if possible.
These packages have compiled drivers. Otherwise download the generic
hsfmodem-Version.tar.gz package. Its usage will require compiling.
For owners of a Dell PCs, a generic package with full speed enable is available. See http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg01830.html for details.

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udevdb
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.0.2
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.0.2
Compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.0
kernel_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.13-15.16-default/build
If a driver compilation files with message including some lack of some FileName.h (stdio.h for example.
Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include.
For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command to display the needed package list:
$ sudo apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel
While some of the files may be on the install CD, others may have to be found through http://packages.ubuntu.com
For Ubunut feisty, additional packages required were:
