Conexant never supported its modems under Linux. Linuxant is a private fee for service venture, which provides such service, with good software, service and free updates after the one-time full speed service. The alsa-driver-linuxant is needed for functions of the for pay hsfmodem software, necessary for functioning of some Conexant chips which are on hosted on newer audio cards. If you don't want to pay, your best long term option is buy a more expensive Controller Chipset (hardware) modem PCI or USB variety, which uses Open Source free Linux drivers Read InfoGeneral.txt for details.
