John,

I need to do a correction in scanModem concerning Riptide, concerning your
  0780 Communication controller: Rockwell International Riptide HCF
56k PCI Modem
     Primary device ID:  127a:4321
 Support type needed or chipset:    HCF.Riptide

On http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/riptide/index.php it is instructed:
If you have a RipTide HCF modem (127A:4321 or 127A:4331), you need to
install *both* the RIPTIDE and HCF drivers, otherwise the modem will
*not* work.
So get to work on that process, after first establishing compiling
support as Tony instructs.
