Thomas,
Excuse me but I am not intelligent enough to understand what you mean
by: "I downloaded the installer".
Which installer is this "THE", you did not say, and I cannot guess.
Is it the file "hsfmodem-7.68.00.12x86_64full.tar.gz" which Marv told
you to download, or the Linuxant crap named "cnxtinstall.run" ?
Installing hsfmodem-7.68.00.12x86_64full.tar.gz does not require any
browser, it just requires to read the instructions for installation
using method C in the "Installation" page linked from the HSF menu on
the left side of page http://www.linuxant.com/drivers.
cnxtinstall.run does use a browser but Marv did not tell you to use it,
and I name that "installer" crap because it makes things more
complicated than the straight method and because it requires that you
already have a working connection (LAN, ADSL, other modem) because it
downloads material from the Linuxant site, which is of course not
possible when you just have a modem still not working (the hen and the
eggs, you know...)
I have asked Linuxant several times to remove it. No effect.

Dear Mr. Stodolsky:
Thanks for you help, I am almost there, but not quite.
I got the license, downloaded the installer, installed the software, everything going well. Next step is go to Web Configurator at
http://127.0.0.1:18020/
but I can't get there. It asks the username and password again, just like it did at the previous step, but the same password doesn't work. Nothing works, at least not in four complete re-installations with every variation in detail I could think of.
Please, how do I get this web configurator page? How do I complete the installation?

Tom,
For support under your x86_64 System
from http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads.php
get the
hsfmodem-7.68.00.12x86_64full.tar.gz
unpack under Linux with:
$ tar zxf hsf*.tar.gz
and follow the instructions in the new
hsfmodem-7.68.00.12x86_64full folder
You could also install a 32 bit linux-image package,
matching
KernelVersion with one of the packages on
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php,
which have precompiled drivers.
below are more typical Bioler Plate instructions. The most
expert help
for Linuxant software is through "Support
(Jonathan)"
<support@xxxxxxxxxxxx>. But first
run the
$ sudo hsfconfig --diagnose
and send him the output written to the /tmp/ folder

From
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php
download
hsfmodem-7.68.00.12full_k2.6.24_16_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.
See DOCs/Testing.txt for details.

What modem have I got? What do I have to do to get it
