Hi,
if you can issue the "hsfconfig" command in a root shell, then a driver
package is installed, you should follow the instructions given by that
command to complete the installation and the configuration of the driver.
If the "hsfconfig" script is not present on your system and the
installer doesn't work properly for your setup, you can always try to
manually install a driver package from:

Manual installation instructions are available at:

Bill,
Maybe the automatic installer saw a conflict with slmodem?
The modem symbolic link is /dev/modem -> ttySL0
and did not install anything?
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.

I am not aware there is a driver installed?
I used the installer
(http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/downloads-installer.php)
I didn't realize it had installed a driver because at the end it gives
me and error (no generic driver)
How do I check which driver it installed?
What else do I need in order to use the modem for faxing?
Thanks again,
Bill

Bill,
You have installed a driver, may I ask which one?
Did you install the generic one:
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/archive/hsfmodem-7.80.02.06full/hsfmodem_7.80.02.06full_i386.deb.zip?
this one would not work, since your machine is 64 bit::
CPU=x86_64, Ubuntu , ALSA_version=1.0.23
There are no generic packages (debian/ubuntu) for 64 bit systems,
maybe get the tar.gz
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/archive/hsfmodem-7.80.02.06x86_64full/hsfmodem-7.80.02.06x86_64full.tar.gz
Another one?
The modem is served by hsfmodem software:

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
Modem support packages from Linuxant include resources for compiling drivers.
If an installer package matching your kernel_version is not provided,
just install a generic code package.
From http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php
download hsfmodem-7.80.02.05full_k2.6.32_28_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.

Antonio

Hi:
First, thanks for your time and effort.
I have tried the installer and get an error after it says the
installation is successful. The error says I don't have the headers
installed and when I check it shows I do?
I have tried to compile the driver but lack the knowledge to achieve this.
Is there anyway I can install the driver in order to use the modem for faxing?
Once again, thanks for your time and effort.
I have attached the datamodem.txt file
