Gene, Linux support for Conexant modems such as your Communication controller: Conexant Systems, Inc. HSF 56k Data/Fax Modem used to be provided by www.linuxant.com. However they have ceased updating their code, and it is no longer functional under current kernels. If you have no alternative way of connecting to the Internet under Linux, your best option is to acquire a USB modem supported by the Open Source drivers in any current Linux installation. However, the "supported by Linux" on many add-on modems is frequently not reliable. So be sure you can return it for it does not serve.
