It has been stated that you can most likely get the conexant modem to work. I did buy a real hardware modem a long time ago just because there was no support back then.

If you want we can help you configure your modem still.

Everyone Upstairs,
Yes, I've checked up your link for Conexant HCF modem, thank you !
The free driver only works at less than half speed, 14.4kbps, one has to pay and register to get full 56kbps speed. I rather get the small foot print USrobotics USB modem. Too bad it's not on sale, I've been waiting for a year.

Happiness is being able to help someone, even if people forgot to thank me.
Happiness is seeing something you need on sale.

My ideal notebook is one with built in USB modem besides wireless and of course, also loaded with Linux.
