Hi

Took a little while to get back:

I installed the latest hsf drivers.

here is a copy of the error messages I received from modem startup
********************

and 

modprobe hsfserial
dmesg
PCI: Found IRQ 9 for device 00:08.0
HSF: ERROR: SILICON Laboratories or LUCENT AC97 modem detected!
HSF: ERROR: This driver only supports CONEXANT devices
HSF: ERROR: No CONEXANT modem found
hsf_request_port: open failed

Is this info any help?
