Sally,

This should report on all the PCI cards.
scanModem is in part just reporting what the ALSA diagnositics have
written to /proc/asound/ sub-folders. You can read them as text
files. But therein is certainly:
=============
The ALSA verion is 1.0.16
The modem cards detected by "aplay -l" are:
card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 6: Si3054 Modem [Si3054 Modem]
The /proc/asound/pcm file reports:
-----------------------
00-06: Si3054 Modem : Si3054 Modem : playback 1 : capture 1
00-00: ALC861VD Analog : ALC861VD Analog : playback 1 : capture 2
about /proc/asound/cards:
------------------------
0 [SB ]: HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB
HDA ATI SB at 0xc0400000 irq 17
If not a Conexant modem, the driver snd-hda-intel with its dependent drivers:
snd_hda_intel 295196 1
snd_hwdep 13572 1 snd_hda_intel
----------
provide audio + modem support with the modem chip residing on the subsystem.
Any particular card can host any one of several soft modem chips.
The modem codec file for the HDA card is: /proc/asound/card0/codec#0
--------------------------------------------------------
Codec: Generic 11c1 Si3054
Address: 0
Vendor Id: 0x11c13026
===========
What is unusual is that many additional dependent drivers would be
expected under
-----------------
snd_hda_intel 295196 1
snd_hwdep 13572 1 snd_hda_intel
-----------------
for normal sound support of a
PCI slot PCI ID SubsystemID Name

If may be that a similar set of drivers has to be manually loaded
before on your System before the modem can be adequately served.
Does the command pair:
$ su root
# slmodemd -c USA --alsa hw:0,6
succeed in creating ports.
Sadly, PC assemblers at times use their batch bought components in ways bizarre,
to use up their residual compenents, of course only caring that it
works under Microsoft.
In your case the, HDA card seens to have been put in only to support
its modem function under Microsoft.
