Ewald,
scanModem recommends hsfmodem drivers:
For candidate modem in: 00:1b.0
0403 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G
Primary device ID: 8086:27d8
Subsystem PCI_id 1028:01bd
Softmodem codec or chipset from diagnostics: 0x14f12bfa
from Archives:
The HDA card softmodem chip is 0x14f12bfa
Support type needed or chipset: hsfmodem
Writing DOCs/Intel.txt
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
From http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php
download hsfmodem-7.80.02.02full_k2.6.28_15_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.
scanModem also tells us that you do not have wvdial installed:
The dialer utility package WVDIAL does not appear to be installed on
your System.
For Ubuntu Jaunty users, there are at the bottom of
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/:
wvdial_jaunty_amd64.zip for x86_64, 64 bit bus systems.
wvdial_jaunty_i386.zip for 32 bit systems.
These are about 1 MB in size. After downloaded and copied into your
Linux partition:
$ unzip wv*.zip
Within the new folder:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
will complete the wvdial installation
Please read Modem/DOCs/wvdial.txt for usage information.
And if you do install the drivers successfully and wvdial is
installed, but the driver does not respond, then you may follow the
advice also provided here:
For candidate card in slot 00:1b.0, firmware information and bootup
diagnostics are:
PCI slot PCI ID SubsystemID Name
---------- --------- --------- --------------
00:1b.0 8086:27d8 1028:01bd Audio device: Intel
Corporation 82801G
Modem interrupt assignment and sharing:

--- Bootup diagnostics for card in PCI slot 00:1b.0 ----

[ 0.578138] pci 0000:00:1b.0: PME# supported from D0 D3hot D3cold

[ 11.283710] HDA Intel 0000:00:1b.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 21 (level,
low) -> IRQ 21
[ 11.283764] HDA Intel 0000:00:1b.0: setting latency timer to 64
The PCI slot 00:1b.0 of the modem card may be disabled early in
a bootup process, but then enabled later. If modem drivers load
but the modem is not responsive, read DOCs/Bootup.txt about possible fixes.
Send dmesg.txt along with ModemData.txt to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
if help is needed.
