Jacques,

1-Marv and I read the discussion list immediately. There is no need to add his and mine address on the mail as both copies arrive on the screen at the same time.

2-You did not select the right driver anyway. What you selected is precompiled for internal PCI modems with the HSF chipset. It by definition cannot serve an USB modem. What you must try is (HSF then HCF if fails or reversed order) the GENERIC source driver to be installed with method C, from location
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads.php
file: hsfmodem-7.68.00.09full.tar.gz

I have never tried the deb version of the same file which is easier for Ubuntu. I have used the rpm version of the same file with RedHat but I do not remember if it offers or not the choice to start usbconfig instead of pciconfig. I know that the tar version does it, which is why I recommend to use that file - but of course you can try the deb version (method B) with file hsfmodem_7.68.00.09full_i386.deb.zip
Remember to  unzip hsfmodem_7.68.00.09full_i386.deb.zip or
            gunzip hsfmodem_7.68.00.09full.tar.gz
before applying the installation instructions found on the Linuxant Web site. Also if you start with HSF, fail, and want to try HCF, remember to remove the HSF work (uninstall).

Anyway, I've tried to install the HSF driver et met the following problem :
when unzipping the HSF driver (I didn't find a tar driver), I got the

What is the appropriate variant or where can I get the tar version ?

That one is intereting indeed.
Who has installed these /dev/ttySHF nodes?
In spite of what
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-sixth/msg03048.html
says (HCFUSB) , perhaps there is a good reason to try the HSFUSB
counterpart of HCFUSB.
Just as I outlined in my previous mail, except using HSF instead of HCF
all the way.

Did you configure it properly with setserial?

 Delaj,
If
0baf:6112 U.S. Robotics FaxModem Model 5633
is your only modem, try detecting it with:
$ sudo wvdialconf  /etc/wvdial.conf

If there is also an internal modem, it is probably a Conexnant type in
the SUbsystem of:
 Class 0403: 8086:284b Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H
    Primary device ID:  8086:284b
  Subsystem PCI_id  103c:2a36
Then under Ubuntu 2.6.22-14-generic, it would be supported following
the instructions in Conexnant.txt
 From
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php
 download
hsfmodem-7.68.00.07full_k2.6.22_14_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip
 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.

Please report back presently.

 If your modem is connected by an external serial cable,
 or mounted internally on an ISA card, scanModem would not access
it.
 Try with Root permission
 $ sudo wvdialconf  /etc/wvdial.conf
 to detect these modem types and some USB modems.
 If the detection is successful, read the wvdial.txt .
 Edit the /etc/wvdial.conf with Root permission:
    sudo  gedit  /etc/wvdial.conf
 will be able to dial out with Root permission:
   sudo wvdial

 Many modems for which scanModem fails have Conexant chips.
 From http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/modemident.php
 get the ListModem tool, which will report on Conexant chipset

are:

 ============ end Smartlink section =====================


 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. When compiling ALSA drivers, the
 utility
 "patch" will also be needed.



 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

 Once downloaded and transferred into a Linux partition,
 they can be installed alltogether with:
