Dear Jacques,
I tried the generic packages (7.80xxx tar.gz and .deb.zip) as well as
two other most recent packages all without success (Kernel issue). You
may close the case.
Tks for your support.

Peter please send copies to discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx, at least two more
colleagues read it and know all that much better than me.
I looked at the Linuxant site and of course it does not have any support
for 3-series Linux kernels.
You can try one thing, specially if you have enough Linux experience not
to be frightened by compiling a program - instructions are very clear
and simple.
You can go to the Linuxant site page
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/oem/downloads.php and from there
download the DKPG file under heading "Generic packages with source".
The address of this file allows direct downloading without going through
that page, but I wrote as I wrote to make sure that you navigate over
that page on your way to the driver in order to know where the detailed
instructions are available.
If you can live with the idea of using an older version of Ubuntu,
install Ubuntu Karmic kernel 9.10 from
http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/karmic/
If you can afford to buy for example an HP 6830 for 100 Euros, as I did
for my office, you will fax,scan.copy and print under Linux all kernels
without any headache.

Dear Jacques,
that was quick for a response! The link you sent directs to
.../hsf/oem/... instead to .../hsf/full/.. and it looks as if the
k3.13.0_68 is not listed. Most recent one is 2.6.31.
Which one do you recommend for the download?
Tks.

Re your question: Telephone and fax of some providers in Germany still
work on ISDN and not TCP/IP. Old Win XP had a fax monitor which
utilized the connexant modem for analog faxing but there seems no
substitute in Ubuntu. I have not found a free to use app in the
internet from which you can address dial up fax machines.

Jupp,
ModemData.txt says you have a Conexant chipset:
Quote:" The audio card hosts a softmodem chip: 0x14f12bfa
14f1 is the Conexant Vendor ID, and 0x14f12bfa a softmodem chipset.
Get a hsfmodem package through http://www.linuxant.com
" end quote
You seem to have found a driver: " From
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/full/downloads-ubuntu-x86.php
download
hsfmodem-7.80.02.05full_k3.13.0_68_generic_ubuntu_i386.deb.zip
--> Question from Jacques: this matches your hardware and software and
usually works straight out of the box. I have a Dell Latitude X1 with
the same modem chip, used it for years, just analog modem internet
providers have disappeared where I live. Did you try? Did it fail?
I have doubts because if yiu had done that you wouldn't have a link
/dev/modem to ttySL0 which belongs to a completely different hrdware.
->Resuming the instructions:
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.etc
.. '
Have you done the steps above?
I see no report on you having tried and what t failed.

Hi,
I have been trying to get my Soft modem of a Dell Latitude D620 (I
know, it's a Dinosaur) working for fax purposes. No success with
whatever I tried. I attach the files generated by ScanModem kindly
asking for help in getting it up and running.
Tks!!
