Hello... I've got an hp pavilion ze4420us, and I can't seem to get it to recognize the modem. I found a modem scanning program on the internet, and when I run it I get:

I don't know exactly what all this stuff means, and I've tried downloading the drivers from Linuxant... I think it's a conexant ACLink modem... but whenever I run the Internet Configuration Wizard in Fedora, it doesn't find the modem. I'm a newbie, and want to set up my dial-up before I move (I'll be leaving my broadband behind). I appreciate any help you can give,
