Mea Culpa.

1- "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 DOCs/Conexant.txt"
just should not be there because it does not apply to HCF modems.
2- The address
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers//downloads-ubuntu-x86.php
is incorrect.
Unfortunately I have to quote from my memory because www.linuxant.com does not respond to me this evening.
I **believe** that the right URL is
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hcf/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php
that is, hcf added in between the two skashes.

Sorry not to have noticed the above earlier.

Antonio,

Jacks' modem is an HCF as you write yourself !
Your instuctions are for HSF , not HCF !!!
In addition, are you sure that the Dell OEM HSF modem driver which you quote works under kernel? I am not. If you are 100% sure, please let me know.

Jack,
The Dell driver quoted by Antonio does not work on your modem AS FAR AS I KNOW.
You have no other choice than what I sent you before.
The driver downloaded from Linuxant is limited to speed 14,400 bauds, no FAX.
To lift the limitations, you have to pay Linuxant 20$.
The fee is lifted for Dell users whose hardware and software match the driver quoted by Antonio,
AS FAR AS I KNOW, again, this is unfortunately not your case.

 From  http://www.linuxant.com/drivers//downloads-ubuntu-x86.php
download -7.68.00.12full_k2.6.24_16_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip Under Linux unpack with:
 $ unzip *.zip
 Then install with:
 $ sudo dpkg -i *.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 DOCs/Testing.txt  for details.
