Dear all,
I just installed Ubuntu on a dual boot engine, and I have no internet access so far via Ubuntu, but it works still OK under Windows. ScanModem seems to detect a Connexant Access Runner (which I use), device number 0572:cb00. But it doesn't look happy with the rest. Windows uses a file CnxEtU.sys. How to proceed further from here?
Please find attached ModemData.txt

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 modems
