Thanks for you prompt answer; sorry I took long to write back, we had a lot
of snow; I shoveled (a lot).
Thanks to Jacques, MarvS, Antonio
What I did
1 - I used ScanModem; the ModemData.txt is further down in this message
2 - For some reason, it was impossible to reach linuxant.com last week; I
tought the site closed
3 - ScanModem produced a file: Conexant.txt; ModemData.txt suggested to read
Conexant.txt
4 - In Conexant.txt, it refers to: hsfmodem_7.60.00.06oem_i386.deb at
support.dell.com
5 - I downloaded and installed: hsfmodem_7.60.00.06oem_i386.deb or
hsfmodem_7.60.00.18oem_i386.deb
6 - I believe I installed hsfmodem_7.60.00.06oem_i386.deb
6.1 - upon receiving an answer on discuss@linmodems March 9th, I uninstalled
hsfmodem
6.2 - as directed I downloaded:
hsfmodem_7.68.00.07full_k2.6.22_14_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip
6.3 - and installed it
7 - my wvdial.conf is:
[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttySHSF0
Baud = 57600
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
ISDN = 0
Dial Command = ATDP
Modem Type = Analog Modem
; Phone = <Target Phone Number>
; Username = <Your Login Name>
; Password = <Your Password>
Phone = ,1114445555
Username = okusername
Password = aaayyyy
8 - my telephone as a pulse line
9 - problem: modem dials before dialtone (solved with
hsfmodem_7.68.00.07full_k2.6.22_14_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip)
10 - problem: it seems the password is not understood by the server; the
modem eventually hang up

- should I include these line in wvdial.conf ?
Thanks for your time.

Francois,
To help you, we need to do what you did!
According to what you sent you should have taken the Linuxant HSF driver
matching your kernel and Linux distribution.
Is THAT what you did?
Open http://www.linuxant.com/drivers
Read the section marked HSF of the menus on the left side.
Download:
-if you have some other working communication such as ADSL, use the tool
linked as cnxtinstall.run , then everything runs automatically if you
follow the instructions.
-otherwise, following link driver download page through Linux
distributions -> Ubuntu (last in table), click, download the file
hsfmodem_7.68.00.07full_k2.6.22_14_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip
Copy it anywhere convenient to you in your Linux space (your login
account, for example).
Decompress by typing the command unzip hsf and hit the TAB key and
only then, Enter. TAB extends the file to its full name, no need to sweat.
Install with
rpm -i hsf and TAB then RETURN
Let it go.
That's it.

Sorry to bother you; I have really tried to solve this by myself.
Sometimes modem dials before dialtone.
When it dials correctly, the server does not read/understand/receive (?)
the password...
Frustrated.
Thanks in advance.

There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe* files
The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) packages providing audio

The /proc/asound/ audio+modem diagostics are being copied.

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.
From http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php
download hsfmodem_hsfmodem_7.68.00.07full_k.deb.zip
with 2.6.22_14_generic equivalent to 2.6.22-14-generic, your kernel
version.
Under Linux unpack with:
$ unzip hsfmodem*.zip
Then install with:
$ sudo dpkg -i hsfmodem*.deb
Subsequently, the modem should be found with
$ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
Edit in your personal information with:
$ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
and try dialing out with:
$ sudo wvdial.
See Testing.txt for details.

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: 4.1.3
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.1.3
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.1
linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/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 package
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
