Joshua,

scanModem reports that your modem is supported through hsfmodem
drivers from linuxant:

Writing DOCs/Intel.txt

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


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
"Support (Jonathan)" <modem.support@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

 From  http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php
 download hsfmodem-7.80.02.06full_k2.6.32_24_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip
 Under Linux unpack with:
 $ unzip hsfmodem*.zip
 Then install with:
 $ sudo dpkg -i hsfmodem*.deb
 Subsequently, the modem should be found with
 $ sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
 Edit in your personal information with:
 $ sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
 and try dialing out with:
 $ sudo wvdial.
 See DOCs/Testing.txt  for details.
=======================================================
since linuxant changed the procedure, the above advice does not work.
There were churning too many updates for kernels, that linuxant
decided it would not be convenient to build the drivers for *every
release* that the driver now offered is a generic source one that
could be used to generate the drivers for *any* kernel out there +
those updated kenel-2.6.XX-YY-generic kernels churned out by Ubuntu

The package for :
 2.6.32_24_generic
will not be found.  Download instead a generic source driver and build
it, get the deb one and run the instructions provided there
(http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/install.php):

http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/archive/hsfmodem-7.80.02.06full/hsfmodem_7.80.02.06full_i386.deb.zip

========================================================================

METHOD B: DEBIAN PACKAGE (*.deb)
If you have obtained the driver package in DEBIAN format:

1. install the package with "dpkg -i hsfmodem_{version}_{arch}.deb",
if apt-get or some other tool hasn't already done it for you.

2. if necessary, run "hsfconfig" to complete the installation, enter
license information, or to change your modem's configuration.

If you need to rebuild the Debian generic package from source, you can
get the TAR package, and from the top directory run: "make debdist". A
pre-compiled DEB package for the currently running kernel can be built
using "make debprecomp" instead.

AFTER INSTALLATION
If an error occurred during installation, please see the sections
'BUGS' and 'REPORTING PROBLEMS' below.

Once the modem is installed and configured, you may access it as
/dev/ttySHSF0. Additionally, you can use it via the symbolic link
/dev/modem (equivalent to ttySHSF0). If you have more than one HSF
modem, the second will be available as /dev/ttySHSF1, the third as
/dev/ttySHSF2 and so forth.

Please review the permissions on the device nodes with "ls -l" to
ensure that they are adequate for your system.

The "hsfconfig" command can be used to change certain modem
configuration options or recompile (generic packages only) the kernel
modules after installation. Run "hsfconfig --help" for usage
information.

LICENSE KEYS / REGISTRATION
To enable your modem's full functionality (high-speed 56k data and
FAX), a license registration key must be obtained from Linuxant and
entered with "hsfconfig --license".

Without a proper license key, the modem can only operate in FREE mode,
limited to a maximum speed of 14.4Kbps (V.32bis) and the FAX
functionality will not be available.

=======================================================================
also, should you build and install the driver and the modem is
unresponsive read carefully the following

 The PCI slot 00:1b.0 of the modem card may be disabled early in
 a bootup process,  but then enabled later. If modem drivers load
 but the  modem is not responsive, read DOCs/Bootup.txt about possible fixes.
 Send dmesg.txt along with ModemData.txt to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
 if help is needed.

Antonio
