Hello.
I have a PCI USRobotics Modem, model 5671 "Dial-up 56K PCIFaxModem"
and I am trying to mount some kind of fax-server with Hylafax. But I'm
not able to make this modem work. I found out, I don't remember how,
it has a Conexant HSF chip, so I installed Connexant HSF drivers. Now
kernel seems to discover it when booting, and it also apears on lspci.

Though, I cannot connect to it with minicom, nor cu commands, and
programs such as efax-gtk doesn't neither work.

Here are pasted two pieces from dmesg and lspci outputs:


gaguilar@thunder:~$ dmesg | grep -i modem
[ 32.111710] ttySHSF0 at I/O 0xa000 (irq = 21) is a Conexant HSF
softmodem (PCI-14f1:2f30-14f1:2003)

(there are no other dmesg lines about that)


gaguilar@thunder:~$ lspci -v

02:00.0 Communication controller: Conexant HSF 56k Data/Fax Modem (rev
01)
Subsystem: Conexant Unknown device 2003
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 21
Memory at eb000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
I/O ports at a000 [size=8]


As you can see from dmesg output, it seems that kernel detects the
device and assigns it to /dev/ttySHSF0. This file exists.


If anyone does know certainly that this modem can't work on linux
please tell and I will report my boss

Thank you very much !
