Rob, Read Conexant.txt From http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-mdk-x86.php download hsfmodem-7.68.00.09full_k2.6.17_13mdv-1mdv.i686.rpm.zip Install with $ unzip hsf*.zip $ su - root # rpm -i hsf*.rpm and follow the output instructions. While a reboot may be necessary, the modem should be found by # wvdialconf /etc/wdial.conf Read Testing.txt for details.
