Go to the Linuxant page: http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/index.php?PHPSESSID=ed8a86ac05fa3aa498260d65841b820d Your modem is listed there: If you computer is a dell computer you can go to their site and get a driver from them, read Conexant.txt in Modem/ folder. Otherwise, on the Linuxant page, download the hsf modem Note: (Cut and pasted from Conexant.txt generated from scanModem) -Find the HCF or HSF menu in the left part of the screen. -Read README. -Read INSTALLATION. -Click DOWNLOAD. -Accept conditions. -Find text: "You can download HCF (or HSF) modem packages from the driver download page." and click there. -Look for your distribution, your processor, and your kernel. -Download the matching file. -Read again and, if you do this under Windows, print the installation instructions matching the kind of driver file which you downloaded. -Now just follow these instructions. http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/downloads-patches.php has patches that may be necessary for recent kernels. A detailed software installation example is provided at: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-fourth/msg00350.html Regards, Antonio On Nov 21, 2007 11:08 AM, Dave Arsenault <dnarsenault@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I'm new to Linux.
