David, Many winmodems have the same functional hardware, and only differsignificantly in the software they call for under Microsoft. UnderLinux the slmodemd (praised be slmodem coder Sasha Khapyorsky) helperutility supports a wider variety of modems, while the driver it worksthrough is one of several modem drivers provided in the Linux ALSAaudio+modem packages. In contrast to the Mircrosoft environment,these drivers have low level functionality and the slmodemd is thereally SMART component. For your system, the 15433155 modem chip hosted on the HighDefinition Audio card Subsystem is actually fabricated by SiliconInstruments (vendor id 1543), which imprinted an instruction to callup Motorola software under under Microsoft. Under Linux, all this Microsoft stuff is ignored, since Motorola isnot supporting Linux.Rather the snd-hda-intel driver supports audio+ access for theslmodemd, provided in the SLMODEMD package ( which I assembled) tomanage the modem. You may initially have a failure, because of your x86_64 processor.But there is a work around for that. Report back presently.
