Linux version 2.6.20-15-generic (root@palmer) (gcc version 4.1.2 (Ubuntu
4.1.2-0ubuntu4)) #2 SMP Sun Apr 15 07:36:31 UTC 2007
scanModem update of: 2007_Sept_07
The modem symbolic link is /dev/modem -> ttySHSF0
There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe* files
USB modem not detected by lsusb
Several modems are supported by drivers with ALSA, the Advanced Linux
Sound Architecture software.

At http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/pctel-linux
Get the pctel-0.9.7-9-rht-7.tar.gz
Unpack under Linux with:
tar zxf pctel*.tar.gz
and read instuctions therein.
Read Pctel.txt and Modem/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.

Class 0780: 14f1:2f30 Communication controller: Conexant Unknown
device 2f30
Primary PCI_id 14f1:2f30
Support type needed or chipset: hsfmodem
For owners of a Dell PCs with Conexant HSF modems, a driver source
package with full speed enabled is available, but requires driver
compiling. Read Conexant.txt
The hsfmodem package serves a great variety of Conexant chipset
modems.
From http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php
download hsfmodem_VersionSpec_k2.6.20_15_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip
with 2.6.20_15_generic equivalent to
2.6.20-15-generic, 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.

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
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.1
linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/build
However some compilations and executable functions may need additional
files,
in the FileNames.h (so called kernel "h"eaders) collection installed
in /usr/include/ .
For martian_modem, additional required packages are libc6-dev (and for
Debian/Ubuntu, linux-libc-dev). The also required headers of package
libc6 are commonly installed by 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 Ubuntu Feisty, additional packages required were:
libc6-dev linux-libc-dev
available through http://packages.ubuntu.com/ , if not on the install
CD.
Such packages may have different names for other Linux distributions.
Try installing just the libc6-dev, then test the compile again.
