Installed driver from linuxant. Driver compiles and modules load successfully. Modem AT commands work, but when the modem dials out, the telco does not seem to recognize the dial tones, and eventually returns a busy signal, resulting in the modem returning "BUSY". Dialing in to the modem (from a regular phone) and using ATA does seem to at least start carrier negotiation, but I haven't tried this with a remote modem.

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.

Read Conexant.txt 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: 4.1.2 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/2.6.22.14-72.fc6/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 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: -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 312492 Dec 1 2006 /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 Checking settings of: /etc/ppp/options lock In case of a message like: Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-sixth/msg04656.html Read Modem/YourSystem.txt concerning other COMM channels: eth0 tun0 Which can interfere with Browser naviagation.
