Arkady,

With respect to:
Communication controller: Rockwell International HCF 56k Data/Fax/Voice/Spkp "
CLASS=0780
PCIDEV=127a:1025
SUBSYS=122d:4025

support of driver packages from www.linuxant.com ceased a couple of years ago,
so it is doubtful that the modem can be made to function under more
current 3.16.* kernels.

In principle one of your HDA audio cards might host a Smartlink subsystem chip.
these lines:
-------
/etc/modprobe.d/sl-modem.conf:install slamr /sbin/modprobe -qb
ungrab-winmodem; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install slamr; test -e
/dev/slamr0 && (chmod 660 /dev/slamr0 && chgrp dialout /dev/slamr0) ||
(/bin/mknod -m 660 /dev/slamr0 c 242 0 2>/dev/null && chgrp dialout
/dev/slamr0)
/etc/modprobe.d/sl-modem.conf:install slusb /sbin/modprobe -qb
ungrab-winmodem; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install slusb; test -e
/dev/slusb0 && (chmod 660 /dev/slusb0 && chgrp dialout /dev/slusb0) ||
(/bin/mknod -m 660 /dev/slusb0 c 243 0 2>/dev/null && chgrp dialout
/dev/slusb0)
--------
show that you have installed an sl-modem support package.   But if a
Smartlink chip were present, there would be a further symbolic link
like:
/dev/ttySL0 --> /dev/SomeNumber
This could be tested with:
$ ls -l /dev/ttySL0
but I expect you will not find the hoped for link.

More generally, modem usage is today nearly obsolete.  Best try to use
some alternater COMM mode, such as wireless to some router on the
Internet.

If a modem is your only option, an external USB modem which uses Open
Source Linux drivers is your best option.  However it is too ofter not
obvious what requisite drivers are from add on modems, which allege to
support Linux.  So make sure that you can return such a bought modem,
if it does not serve.
