Two Issues:
1) As far as the HCF driver is concerned, there is not one listed for
the installed kernel 2.6.24-28. The ModemData.txt file mentions to
download 7.80.02.06full_k2.6.24_28_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip. could
not find it listed. the closest is 2.6.24-26-generic
hcfpcimodem_1.21full_k2.6.24_26_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip, which does
not work. is it possible to get this functioning with my kernel?
2) the apt-get update and install linux-kernel-devel were run. The
RIPTIDE driver install and the ripconfig were run with the following
results:
sacserve@sacserve:~$sudo make install

This package does not contain pre-built modules suitable for your system:
Distribution: Debian-lenny/sid
Kernel arch: i686-SMP
Kernel version: linux-2.6.24-28-generic
Trying to automatically re-compile the modules..
(this requires a C compiler and proper kernel sources to be installed)
Where is the linux source build directory that matches your running kernel?
[/lib/modules/2.6.24-28-generic/build]
WARNING: missing file /lib/modules/2.6.24-28-generic/build/include/linux/modversions.h
The cause of this problem is usually a missing or misconfigured
kernel source tree (and sometimes an incorrect directory or symbolic link).
First, ensure that the proper kernel source and compiler packages
from your distribution vendor and/or the community are installed.
The Linux kernel can then be reconfigured by running "make menuconfig"
under the kernel source directory (usually /usr/src/linux).
Verify that the proper options for your system are selected,
and that CONFIG_SMP ("Symmetric multi-processing support" under
"Processor type and features") is disabled, as this driver is
presently designed to work on single-processor machines.
Then compile and install your new kernel (for more information about
this procedure, see the README file under the kernel source directory),
reboot the system using the new kernel, and re-run "ripconfig".
Not sure where to go from here.

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.

John,
Before you attempt to do anything, you need to get compiler& kernel
source/kernel headers:
The kernel was compiled with gcc version 4.2.4 and a compiler is not installed
linux-headers-2.6.24-28-generic resources needed for compiling are
not manifestly ready!
But it also tells you how you may fix this:
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:

The modem data file shows that the Conexant HCF Riptide modem is installed.
Attempts to download/install the driver from LinuxAnt did not work. A
binary for kernel 2.6.24-28 was not found. The run install files did not
install the driver. Could you please help getting my Conexant HCF Riptide
driver to install so I could use it as a Fax? I am not too familiar with
compiling source, but am willing to learn to get this fax modem functioning.
Thanks in advance,

The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
The kernel was compiled with gcc version 4.2.4 and a compiler is not
installed
linux-headers-2.6.24-28-generic resources needed for compiling are not
manifestly ready!
The code linking utility, ld, may be needed and is provided in the binutils
package
The patch utility is needed for compiling ALSA drivers, and possibly
others.
If compiling is necessary packages must be installed, providing:
gcc-4.2 make linux-headers-2.6.24-28-generic
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.
