I'd tried the driver in 32 bits PCs with a different internal modem having Agere chipset and worked for a long time without too much trouble . That's why I was hoping to make this USB device work this time as well ... anyways ... <OT> Fortunately I managed to change it , and now I got one of these {{{ #!sh $ lsusb | grep Conexant Bus 002 Device 022: ID 0572:1340 Conexant Systems (Rockwell), Inc. }}} It works like a charm by just installing dgcmodem so I recommend users to try Conexant USB modems of series 132x , 1340 (<= these I've tried personally ;) , ... i.e. all those supported by dgcmodem [1]_ package ... but ... considering my experience , beware of the fact that Conexant modems of series 1300 , 1301, 1303 (<= these I've tried personally) ... i.e. those driven by hsfmodem [2]_ , have been extremely problematic in the following ways : - overriding hsf* audio kernel modules fail , leading to mute system (i.e. no sound at all) - I could not get a connection to work more than 3 min before system crashes , apparently some kind of deadlock , or major unrecoverable exception due to the fact that CapsLock and similar system keys don't even toggle state . ... hope comments above will help others to find an easy-to-install device ... </OT> ..
