Dear Ramnarayan K
1-To your internal HSF modem: scanModem has written a file Conexant.txt
which says everything about how to make this driver work.
Note that the free version is limited 10 14.4 kbauds and does not
support FAX.
Note also, in that note, that you can pay (I suggest, later, once you
have checked that the limited driver works in your computer) to release
the speed and FAX limitations.
Also note and read a remark about the availability of the unlimited
version on the maintenance site for Dell computers. This could possibly
make your PCMCIA card unnecessary unless you need cellular phone
connectivity.
2-To your PCMCIA card: scanModem is intended for internal PCI modems only.
To make use of PCMCIA cards under Linux, the reference is
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/PCMCIA-HOWTO.html
This "official" document, not updated since 2003, shows your modem as
unsupported.
Rob Clark's updated table at
http://xmodem.org/modems/pcmcia_list.html
shows the same but gives a name and e-mail address for somebody who
knows about this modem under Linux.

Hi
Have been trying to see if a PCMCIA fax modem card would work under linux.
Initially the pcmcia card showed up as alloted to /dev/ttyS0 but now for
some (unknown to me) reason it no longer shows up as being mounted !
anywhere.
Its a Motorola Montana 33.6 Modem / Fax
*This was when something seemed to work**
The following is the contents of "wvdial conf wvtest"

Scanning your serial ports for a modem.
ttyS0<Info>: Device or resource busy
Modem Port Scan<*1>: S0 S1 S2 S3
Sorry, no modem was detected! Is it in use by another program?
Did you configure it properly with setserial?
Please read the FAQ at http://open.nit.ca/wiki/?WvDial
If you still have problems, send mail to <wvdial-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx>.
****
Am also attaching modemdata.txt - but this again does not show the
pcmcia card Modem. There is another winmodem possibly working with the
hfs conexant driver but that is a separate issue.
Any suggestions / help
would be appreciated.
thanks
