Funny Alexander:)
The intel driver for my winmodem on my HP laptop didn't work. I
followed the instructions and develped a few wrinkles and serious
headache. Hey I did read the readme file;)
The Linuxant HSF driver works. Well worth the $20 licensed. There is
a trial driver but it's limited to 14.4. Try it to see if it works
before you buy.

Make take some trial and error to see which one you need. I used the
HSF driver for mine, however, I'm not sure what type of modem you
have.
