None.
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.
