Hi everyone,
A new experimental version of the Conexant HSF (softmodem) driver for
Linux is now available from
http://www.mbsi.ca/cnxtlindrv
This is mostly a bugfix release, which is recommended for users affected
by the absence of /dev/ttySHSF0 under Mandrake, make errors, or RING
detection not working.
Please let me know if any of these problems persist.
The detailed list of changes is available below.
