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.
8086:27d8 could be either a HSF or HCF Conexant modem, because of ambiguous
use of the PCI ID by modem assemblers. First try the hcflinodem package.
If the installation aborts, then use the hsfmodem package. Read Conexant.txt
for details and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.
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 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp 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: 4.0.0
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.0.0
Kernel-header resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
kernel-source-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp
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
html2text intltool-debian kernel-package kernel-wedge libc6-dev
libcurl3-gnutls libdigest-sha1-perl liberror-perl libstdc++6-4.1-dev
