Dear Bseeadler,
You are really new to this.
When a limited but free service is available, it is wise to NEVER
purchase the full service before having tested the limited one!
Anyway, too late now.
You have very clear installation instructions on the left panel (for
HCF, remember) at http://www.linuxant.com
You can place the driver file, unpack it, etc..., anywhere - but it is
wise to avoid crazy/exotic locations.
The classic answer would be, copy the file from your USB stick to your
login directory (the place where you are when you login).
I never tried but it might be fun to use the stick itself, depending on
its size.
For the rest, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS !

Great! Thankyou! That address worked. So now I have the driver on a usb
stick and I purchased a license. What directory should I unpack it in on
my desktop? I'm kind of new at this.
And indeed my memory cheated me.
The direct address which you want is NOT
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers//downloads-ubuntu-x86.php
as quoted in Antonio's mail but
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hcf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php
Antonio, Marv, all of us:
I suggest to ban writing such full addresses, as it is so easy to reach
the place from the main page with the advantage of encouraging users,
specially new users, to read the documentation or at least see it.

Thankyou for your help. I actually was able to figure that out but I
can't
connect using either address. I have access to a linux laptop with
fedora.
Here is my post from the ubuntu forums:
Hi- thanks for your answer. I ran scanModem and it gives a linuxant
address to download a modem but my browser just hangs when I go there.
It
says:
A driver source package is available at:
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/down...ubuntu-x86.php
download:
-7.86.00.12full -k2.6.24_16_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip
Is there another place I can get this?
I had the same problem--ran scanModem, tried to access linuxant
and...hang.
Is linuxant out of business?

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.

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.
