hi,
ModemData.txt file is attached. I read it but was not able to understand
which drivers I should download.
Thanking you,

8086:27d8 is a High Definition Audio card, possibly hosting a soft modem.
---ALSA bootup diagnostics ---
The HDA modem codec file is: /proc/asound/card0/codec#1
-----------------------------------
Codec: Generic 14f1 ID 2bfa
Address: 1
Vendor Id: 0x14f12bfa
Subsystem Id: 0x1025007f
Revision Id: 0x90000
The audio card hosts a softmodem chip with Vendor ID: 0x14f12bfa
14f1 is the Conexant Vendor ID, and 0x14f12bfa a softmodem chipset.

For candidate modem in PCI bus: 00:1b.0
Class 0403: 8086:27d8 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G
Primary PCI_id 8086:27d8
Subsystem PCI_id 1025:0090
Softmodem codec or Vendor from diagnostics: 14f1, a Conexant type,
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.
-----------------------------------------
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:

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.
Freeware support is also 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 2.6.18.2-34-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/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.1.2
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.1.2
Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
kernel-source-2.6.18.2-34-default
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:
build-essential curl debhelper dpkg-dev g++ g++-4.1 gettext git-core gitk

libcurl3-gnutls libdigest-sha1-perl liberror-perl libstdc++6-4.1-dev
