I have an Emachine with a modem that come plugged into the eitehr pci or
isa slot (I will be honest, I haven't looked where in the pc).
I have attached my 1read.txt and ModemData.txt.
is my modem listed/supported with your drivers?

If you want help from the email group Discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx, PLEASE join the List
at http://www.linmodems.org . Otherwise your messages will be delayed until the evening,
waiting for someone to verify it is not junk mail, before forwarding through the List server.
The files in this Modem/ folder have the following roles:
ModemData.txt - Diagnostics and accumulated information cogent to your modem and host system.
This is the ONLY file which should be sent to the List DISCUSS@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ,
if further help is needed. Send your email and attachments as plain text as
other formats are rejected by the List Server, to avoid virus transmission.
Always send the ENTIRE ModemData.txt, as It includes subtle diagnostic ouputs needed
to best guide you. Please in the covering email mention your Country, to enable Country
specific advice.
Always use the most recent update of scanModem accessed ONLY at
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/scanModem.gz
to produce ModemData.txt
URLs to cogent advice are regularly updated, so your problem may be solved therein.
Please Do NOT send Do NOT send other files in this folder Modem/
Several informative files without diagnostics are in the DOCs subfolder.
A file(s) specific to your modem chipset will be written, such as:
Smartlink.txt, Conexant.txt, Intel.txt , etc
YourModem.txt - Guidance about operating your particular System, for your benefit
It should NOT be sent to Discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Rational.txt - Motivations of this scanModem package.
DriverCompiling.txt - Explains the roles of additional files which may have to be installed
to support compiling of modem drivers, and the steps to take.
SoftModem.txt - Information and instructions about "soft modems".
For these modems, additional steps may be necessary for choice of supporting software.
The primary PCI ID is that of the host audio or modem controller, which can support diverse Subsystems. It is the chipset of the Subsystem which determines the software needed.
ModemTesting.txt SHOULD be read, but after drivers have been installed.
InfoGeneral.txt has general information about the status of winmodem support under Linux,
Do read it if ModemData.txt reports that your current modem is not supported under Linux.
Unsubscribe.txt - Howto terminate email tranmissions from the List.
If you are Linux newcomer, please do locate your local Linux group through:
http://www.linux.org/groups/index.html . If you are not comfortable with English,
a local Linux user can often be of substantial assistance in getting you on to the Internet.
Only plain text email is forwarded by the Discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx List Server,
as HTML can contain viruses. Use as the email Subject Line:
YourName, YourCountry kernel 2.6.38-10-generic
With this Subject Line cogent experts will be alerted, and useful case names left in the Archive.
YourCountry will enable Country specific guidance. Linux experts in YourCountry
can be found through: http://www.linux.org/groups/index.html.
They will know your Country's modem code, which may be essential for dialup service.

Support type needed or chipset: HCF.HSF
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
10de:03f0 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.
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_k2.6.38_10_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.
The directions following below need only be pursued, if the above procedures are not adequate.
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: 2.6.38_10_generic
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, 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:
sudo dpkg -i hsf*.deb
while for .rpm suffix it is, with:
rpm -i hsf*.rpm

Completed candidate modem analyses.
The base of the UDEV device file system is: /dev/.udev
Versions adequately match for the compiler installed: 4.5.2
and the compiler used in kernel assembly: 4.5.2
Minimal compiling resources appear complete:
make utility - /usr/bin/make
Compiler version 4.5
linuc_headers base folder /lib/modules/2.6.38-10-generic/build
However some compilations and executable functions may need additional files,
in the FileNames.h (so called kernel "h"eaders) collection installed in /usr/include/ .
For martian_modem, additional required packages are needed. The also required headers of package libc6 are commonly installed by default.
Compiling hsfmodem drivers does require linux-libc-dev and libc6-dev packages, for kernels 2.6.24 and later versions.
In not included on your install CD, search for them at http://packages.ubuntu.com
or comparable Repository for other Linux distros.
When compiling ALSA drivers, the utility "patch" will also be needed.
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:
