Paul,
I will be brief on that because it is well known folklore. If you are
interested in details I will answer off the discussion list (i.e.
privately).
As you know such analog modems communicate using real sound modulation
(AM, FM, and more sophisticated, just as radio broadcasting).
To save a few dollars per computer sold, the components manufacturers
have invented ways to share in the same chip the use of some modem
functions with other audio features. This started with AMR then AC'97
and more recently HDA designs.
When everything is correctly done and configured in the modem and in the
audio drivers, this is transparent for the user.

Hi Jacques,
Just to add my comments here..as I could not understand why you are concentrating on the
Audio part.I am not worried about Audio driver, but worried about my modem driver.
Below is the O/p of my modem.txt. I can see that the my connexant is in the slot 01:02.0
which is IDENT=hsfmodem Driver=hsfmodem-drivers.
Please let me know incase of any information.In the mean time I am dowloading the
"http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/archive/hsfmodem-7.80.02.05full/hsfmodem-7.80.02.05full_k2.6.18_8.el5-1rh.i686.rpm.zip";
Please let me know if i am wring anywhere.Thanks again all for your kind help
