Please converse with Lazaro and Carey on problems of getting large
modem code packages into Cuba.

For your
 CPU=x86_64, Ubuntu Linux version 2.6.31-18-generic

with modem
Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G "
CLASS=0403
PCIDEV=8086:27d8
SUBSYS=1028:01bd
IRQ=21
HDA=8086:27d8
SOFT=8086:27d8.HDA
HDAchipVendorID=14f1
CHIP=0x14f12bfa (this vendor 14f1 Conexant chip is hosted on the Subsystem)
CodecClass=14f1
IDENT=hsfmodem
Driver=hsfmodem-drivers

In principle, the driver package is available at the bottom of
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads.php
the hsfmodem_7.80.02.05full_i386.deb.zip
with installation commands under Ubuntu:
$ unzip hsf*.zip
$ sudo dpkg -i hsf*.deb
---------------
BUT your big problem is likely accessing the http://www.linuxant.com/ site.
The hsfmodem_7.80.02.05full_i386.deb.zip package has large precompiled
components,
so unless you have an email account allowing Large attachments, we
lack a way to send it to you.

You may have to also install packages  linux-libc-dev and libc6-dev
also installed to support the driver compilation.  But there is a
Cuban site from which they can be downloaded:
Off of the stem  http://mirror.ucf.edu.cu/ubuntu/  they can be as:
pool/main/g/glibc/libc6-dev_2.9-4ubuntu6_i386.deb
pool/main/l/linux/linux-libc-dev_2.6.28-11.42_i386.deb
Once under Ubuntu, install with:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb

If the  hsfmodem installation still fails with a message about
alsa-linuxant, the needed package is on
http://www.linuxant.com/alsa-driver/  the
	alsa-driver-linuxant_1.0.20.3_all.deb.zip

But if an access route can be devised for the large hsfmodem package,
all else is solvable.

Lazaro & Cary
  FYI, the may to find the location of packages at
http://mirror.ucf.edu.cu/ubuntu/ (or any other repository for which
you have the stem address) is to merely give a command like:
$ apt-cache show libc6-dev
The output includes a line:
Filename: pool/main/l/linux/linux-libc-dev_2.6.28-11.42_i386.deb
which one merely adds to the stem URL of the Ubuntu repository

Lazaro,
