Danilo Support can likely be achieved through two mutually exclusive alternatives: 1) The hsfmodem software for Conexant chipset modems: Read Conexant.txt ====== is most likely. from http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php?PHPSESSID=ec53faa19468091a6b2744e5804dd56d get the hsfmodem_7.68.00.04full_k2.6.22_14_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip for testing. Under Linux: $ unzip hsf*.zip $ sudo dpkg -l hsf*.deb The install will inform whether it is a Conexnant modem. Report back at this point.
