Re: Conexant modem support on 14F1:2013 on Ubuntu 2.6.24-19-server

["Linuxant support (Jonathan)" <support@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

using the HSF driver as an answering machine will probably be difficult 
to pull off since the "voice" feature is not implemented, even with a 
license installed. Perhaps it could be done using clever AT commands and 
using the DCP interface to record the sound but it would probably 
require a lot of work to get it to work correctly and there is no 
guarantee it will work.

Regards,
