downloaded the hsfmodem packages listed in ModemData.txt and installed. Is 
found by $ sudo wvdial / etc/wvdial.conf. However, $ sudo 
gedit /etc/wvdial.conf returns "sudo: gedit: command not found".
Text of ModemData.txt follows.
Thanks for your help, best regards,

Advanced Linux Sound Architecture  (ALSA) spackage providing audio support 
on your System, also includes drivers for some modems. For modems using the 
snd-hda-intel  audio+modem driver, upgrades to a new ALSA version are 
sometimes 
necessary to achieve function. See for example:
      http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg02144.html
Copying ALSA diagnostics to Modem/ALSArdlc23.tgz

 The PCI slot 00:1f.6 of the modem card may be disabled early in 
 a bootup process,  but then enabled later. If modem drivers load 
 but the  modem is not responsive, read Bootup.txt about possible fixes.
 Send dmesg.txt along with ModemData.txt to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
 if help is needed.

      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


Writing Intel.txt

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_16_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip 
                           with 2.6.20_16_generic equivalent to 
2.6.20-16-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.

Writing Conexant.txt


 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/2.6.20-16-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. 

Compressed files at: /usr/src/sl-modem.tar.bz2


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.
