Jacques,
Thanks for your suggestion. I did what Marvin Stodosky suggested. ------
The negative results such a Conexant chip in the
1025:0133 Subsystem
You can fake a known Conexant modem with:
./scanModem test 8086:284b 17aa:20ac
This will output detailed instructions for download.-------------------------- it output a conexant hsf
Modem is now detected but I am still trying to get it working.

Subject: Re: Which chipset identified
Unknown device, two possibilities:
Do you have Windows on the same machine?
Then
Settings->Control_Panel->System->Hardware->Device_Manager->Modems->Select
your modem ->Drivers (possibly Details->Drivers)
If you see HSF or HCF or CNXT or CONEXANT, you will find instructions
in
your Linux directory where scanModem created the file Conexant.txt and
ModemData.txt. Read Conexant.txt. Try this first. If does not work,
REMOVE IT before trying the other possibility explained in
Smartlink.txt:
Read Smartlink.txt for details, and
to test get the package SLMODEMD.gcc4.1.tar.gz from:
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/
If you do not have Windows, try both in the order which you like (read
Conexant.txt and Smartlink.txt to select the easiest). If the first
choice fails, REMOVE THE INSTALLED FILES before trying the second.
