Hi,I've had a PCI internal modem + fax card. I run it properly in Windows XP, and now I move to Fedora Core 12. Attached is the ModemData.txt and the a snapshot of my model card's box.
May you please tell me where I can download the full verison (with fax function) driver for this hardware for Linux Fedora Core 12? Thanks.
Cheers, Brian

Presently install your Linux Distributions dkms package. It provides for automated driver updates,
following upgrade of your kernel. For details see http://linux.dell.com/projects.shtml#dkms
Some modem drivers can only be used in 32 bit modem on x86_64 systems,
while some others are competent on x86_64 Systems. Cases are:
1) http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg03119.html
for the snd-hda-intel audio+modem driver. Also applicable to AC97 modem controllers.
In both cases, 32 bit libraries must be installed to support the slmodemd helper having a precompiled 32 bit component.
2) For USB modems using the slusb.ko driver. 32 bit libraries must be installed to support the slmodemd helper having a precompiled 32 bit component
3) The hsfmodem and hcfpcimodem drivers for Conexant chipsest modes are x86_64 competent.
4) agrsm packages for LSI/AgereSystems softmodems are not competent on x86_64 systems.
There are no blacklisted modem drivers in /etc/modprobe* files
Potentially useful modem drivers now loaded are:
snd_hda_intel

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
8086:293e could be either a HSF or HCF Conexant modem, because of ambiguous
use of the PCI ID by modem assemblers. First try the hcfpcimodem package.
If the installation aborts, then use the hsfmodem package. Read DOCs/Conexant.txt
for details and Modem/DOCs/YourSystem.txt for follow through guidance.
For all code packages from Linuxant.com, either a driver set matching the boot kernel will be installed,
or the drivers will first be compiled and then installed. The expert on modem software for Linux is

Start at http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full for
eventually download of a hsfmodem-7.68.00.12full_k.???.zip package
with ??? the package type (deb, rpm, tar etc)
These packages have compiled drivers but will also compile a driver,
if there is a mismatch between the resident kernel and provided driver.
The generic hsfmodem-7.68.00.12full.tar.gz package only provides compiling support
Start at http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/downloads-license.php to find the
hsfmodem package matching your System. For several Linux distros, there are
precompiled drivers matched to specific kernels. These have within the FileName,
your KernelVersion: 2.6.33.3_85.fc13.x86_64
They can be found through http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads.php
A more precise location may be given a few paragraphs below.
If an EXACT Match with your your KernelVersion is not found, the needed drivers
will be auto compiled anyway. Alternatively, one of the
"Generic packages with source" near the bottom of the page must be used.
Downloaded packages must be moved into the Linux partition (home folder is OK)
and unzipped with:
unzip hsf*.zip
The installation command for a .deb suffic packages is, with root/adm permission:
dpkg -i hsf*.deb
while for .rpm suffix it is, with:

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.4.4
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.4.4
linux-headers-2.6.33.3-85.fc13.x86_64 resources needed for compiling are not manifestly ready!
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
If a driver compilation fails, with message including some lack of some FileName.h (stdio.h for example), then
Some additional kernel-header files need installation to /usr/include. The minimal additional packages are libc6-dev
and any of its dependents, under Ubuntu linux-libc-dev
If an alternate ethernet connection is available,
$ apt-get update
$ apt-get -s install linux-kernel-devel
will install needed packages.
For Debian/Ubuntu related distributions, run the following command to display the needed package list:
Otherwise packages have to be found through http://packages.ubuntu.com
Once downloaded and transferred into a Linux partition,
they can be installed alltogether with:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb

It has samples for a modem using port /dev/ttySL0, which must be changed to match your modem's port.
