| You might find a driver for it, but it appears to be a Conexant chipset.

| Do an "lsusb" command and look at the output (ignore any "timeout"
| messages that pop up).  Find the entry for your modem and see if the
| "idVendor" number is 0x0572 and the "idProduct" is "0x1232", "0x1233" or
| "0x1234".  If it is, you're out of luck as Conexant hasn't released a
| driver for it and apparently no one has gotten enough info from them to

It would have been nice if could be programmed. My scanner is like that.
The windows drivers upload firmware to the device. How hard would it be
to make a modem that took firmware so it responded to Hayes commands?

Lazy developers? Just plain dumb?


For what it's worth, There were a few PCI based modems that work. I know
ActionTec made at least one model. The system just sees a serial port in
the PCI slot.
