Hi,

A new version of the Conexant HSF (softmodem) drivers for Linux
is now available from

	http://www.mbsi.ca/cnxtlindrv

The highlights of this release are extended support for Mandrake 8.0/8.1
kernels and bug fixes. No new features were added.
(The pci=biosirq problem affecting users of 8086:2486 has not been resolved
yet)

A detailed list of changes is included below.

Cheers
Marc
