Thomas,

dldrinstall.run you say?
And you gave up?

That one has NOTHING to do with modems!
It is made for the Linuxant WiFi devices wrapper !!!!!

Dear MarvS:

Thank you for all your help so far, but please help me just a little bit more.  

I gave up on that installer (dldrinstall.run) and went back to the second suggestion in your original message to me. I was able to download the hsfmodem*.deb package, install it, and configure it using wvdial.conf.  But again, I am stuck at the very last step - wvdial. doesn't work. When I try to run it, I get the message "command not found".  I searched my file system, and can't find it on my computer.

The other instruction I was not able to follow was reading DOCs/Testing.txt and DOCs/Conexant.txt. I can't find either one on my computer, Linuxant, or Linmodem.

(As you can tell from all this, I am far from expert and very lost.  Please bear with me. Also, I have internet access even as I try to install the dialup modem.  I have intermittent access to a wireless router, and only work on this when I have access.)

It is a file not URL I think, as 127.0.0.1  always refer to
your own PC.
On my Ubuntu system, there is in
/etc/hosts
127.0.0.1	localhost

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.

 Read DOCs/Conexant.txt
