I'm new Linux user, I don't now command line and I need help to make
my modem works.
The text below is taken from "ModemData.txt" Thanks for your time.

CPU=i686,
Welcome to openSUSE 10.3 (i586) - Kernel
Linux version 2.6.22.13-0.3-default (geeko@buildhost) (gcc version
4.2.1 (SUSE Linux)) #1 SMP 2007/11/19 15:02:58 UTC
scanModem update of: 2007-20-07
There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe* files
---ALSA bootup diagnostics ---
The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) packages providing audio
support on your System,
also includes drivers for some modems. High Definition Audio (HDA)
cards can themselves host
a softmodem chipset, with both audio+modem supported by a snd-hda-intel driver.
The ALSA diagnostics are written during bootup to /proc/asound/ folders.
Modem not detected though HDA card diagnostics, though not excluding
a possible Conexant modem chip impervious to ALSA diagnostics.
Proceeding through alternative possibilties.
Summary card and chipset information is in:
/proc/asound/cards:
0 [A5451 ]: ALI5451 - ALI 5451
ALI 5451 at 0x1000, irq 5
/proc/asound/pcm:
00-00: ALI 5451 : ALI 5451 : playback 32 : capture 1
A copy of /proc/asound had been copied to Modem/ALSAroot.tgz
USB modem not detected by lsusb
For candidate card, firmware information and bootup diagnostics are:

A candidate driver could not be identified.
There is candidate modem software.

Softmodem codec or chipset from diagnostics:
from Archives: CXT, a Conexant type,
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
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.
Start at http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf for
eventually download of a hsfmodem-SomeVersion.zip package with
SomeVersion containing your kernel_version 2.6.22.13-0.3-default in
the filename if possible.
These packages have compiled drivers. Otherwise download the generic
hsfmodem-Version.tar.gz package. Its usage will require compiling.
Read Conexant.txt
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: 4.2.1
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.2.1
linux-headers-2.6.22.13-0.3-default resources needed for compiling
are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
kernel-source-2.6.22.13-0.3-default
If a driver compilation fails, with message including some lack of
some FileName.h (stdio.h for example), then
Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include.
The minimal additional packages are libc6-dev
and any of its dependents, under Ubuntu linux-libc-dev
If an alternate ethernet connection is available,
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel
will install needed pacakage
For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command to
display the needed package list:
Otherwise packages have to be found through http://packages.ubuntu.com
Once downloaded and transferred into a Linux partition,
they can be installed alltogether with:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
Checking pppd properties:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root dialout 298784 2007-09-22 02:41 /usr/sbin/pppd
In case of an "error 17" "serial loopback" problem, see:
http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/archive-sixth/msg02637.html
To enable dialout without Root permission do:
$ su - root (not for Ubuntu)
chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd
or under Ubuntu related Linuxes
chmod a+x /usr/sbin/pppd

Don't worry about the following, it is for the experts
